I've seen these pie-in-the-sky leviathan ship schemes before. I always wonder...how does any nautical architect compensate for the quite narrow beam to LOA ratio. How would these vessels stand steep breaking waves or even deep trough swells when they are so damn long and narrow...and yet purported to require relatively shallow draft? I keep thinking of a rather large M/V Edmund Fitzgerald. Snap!! One would think these vessels would need such deep drafts as to be incomprehensible.
