What a great idea Wayne, a ton of oradance to launch.

That would make for an interesting build.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

The "Prelude" Owned by Shell and is 1601ft long 243ft wide. 600,000 tons fully loaded.

 

 i have ALWAYS said the nevy should buy up some of the 400k ton tankers off singapore, battleship armor up the aft crew, bridge, and engineering sections, and fill it with LACMs, ASMs, SAMs and just park one off each country that doesn't like us. wouldn't be pretty, wouldn't look "naval" but it could eat ASMs and lay waste to entire small countries.

i have a bunch of IMEX freighter kits and plan on doing one like that.

What qualifications?  In service?  Launched and fitting out, on stocks, or on drawing boards?   Largest by length only, or by length, beam and depth?

The biggest I ever heard of, of course never built, was Project Habakkuk II. She would have been 4000 feet, 2 million tons.

I went to see CMA Benjamin Franklin when she came to Oakland.

1300 feet, 180,000 tons, but all those boxes on the deck made her really huge!

If Prelude FLNG doesn't fit the bill as a ship, MV Barzan?

The Worlds BIGGEST ship ?
Posted by Tanker - Builder on Friday, April 15, 2016 8:13 AM

I just have to do this .

     We all know about Super - Carriers and Super - Tankers ( Love  them floating city blocks , I do ). Now, in the history we know .Can anyone tell me what is the BIGGEST ship in the world today ?

     It must be one that has been the news . It can be a Freighter , Tanker , Liner ( ? ) or whatever .It just must be the absolute Biggest ! Just weight doesn't count !  T.B.          P.S. The reason for the question Mark on the Liners .I don't consider what they haul passengers on cruises, as Liners .Those are Hotels on Barges .

  You want a Liner ? There's one in Long Beach , Ca.
