Australian billionaire Clive Palmer...

...Palmer said he had invited the Chinese navy to escort Titanic II on its maiden voyage to New York...

Where does an Aussie get off inviting a third nation's navy to a US port?

...to construct Titanic II with exactly the same dimensions as its predecessor...

Yeah, 'cause that design worked out so well for the White Star Line...

The Olympic class was a fine design. It was scourged with bad luck and poor judgement (but probably really can’t blame them for going with instinct). Titanic opened up far too many sections to survive (but did better than expected), and Britannic hit a mine meant to sink it. Olympic, the oldest, went on for 20 years.
