Eventually we will have ships that are 25 miles long, five miles wide and about 200 stories high.

I suspect that we're probably pretty close to the upper limit now. A ship 25 miles long would have to deal with bending around the curvature of the earth.

A ship that long would also stretch almost from Los Angeles to Catalina Island. Basically, a bridge with a bridge.
