No doubt it will be purchased by some Lib billionaire who espouses environmentalism

This is great. Think of all the jobs this purchase created and will create.

Just maintaining the crew and resupplying it would be a major expense.

Are there many ports in the world with slots large enough that are not cargo oriented?

Does this include Phalanx batteries and Vertical-launch Standard-3’s?

Scotty: All systems automated and ready. A chimpanzee and two trainees could run her.
Kirk: Thank you, Mr. Scott. I'll try not to take that personally.

It looks like a long haul to bring your fish from the water up to the deck.

It’s not as big, or as expensive, but, it’s ours!

A fool and his money are soon parted.
Think of all the politicians he could buy with that money.

A few thoughts: 1.) How can your troll with a boat this size? 2.) If you did catch a fish, how do you get it on board? 3.) Where in there world is there a nice marina that would handle a ship this size? I would think it would have to dock near cruise ships or container ships. That doesn’t make for a pleasant view.

What purpose does it serve, at some point doesn’t it pretty much cease to be a boating experience for an owner?

Putin is probably the owner of the thing already.
