British designed? It was built in the Netherlands and is something of a "form" as ships go, a class of hulls used on other super large ships. Not to mention that Cunard is now part of a larger corporation which is headquartered in California. It would be more accurate to call this an international ship, which, aside from the negative image Corporations give that idea, is still better than the old form which was one war after another.
The AIDs capitAL of the world is either Nairobi or Johannesberg. That you didn't know that is not a surprise given YOU're a 26 year-old with the intellectual development of a pre-adolescent 12 year-old.
You never ruled the world, you only countroled small land massed from each continent, that doesnt mean you owned the world. The largest were India, Canada and the african provicences.
I ever tell you the time I was sellin the Golden Gate Bridge in Frisco on Ebay. Pissed a lot of people off. There stocks went down and stayed down 3 whole bucks after the incident till today. It's aboout time that
lying cheating socialist company was forced to clean up there act.

Great video taken from outside the Golden Gate. I didn't quite get the choice of music, and must take offense to the use of the word "Frisco" as all good San Francisco people know this is a slang term we in never use. If you can't say SanFrancisco,then you can just say The City. BTW, Frisco is a town in Texas, and it should stay there.
...not from sanfran which is what I like to call it(no offense intended there) but seriously you dont understand the song?! Well its a classic song by elvis and here by tina turner called PROUD MARY... get it now?
I love this ship because it is very unique. It is like an international ship because it is belongs to an American owned British company and was built in France!
In the 1980's Cunard Line was bought by Trafalgar House, a British Company. In turn, Trafalgar were taken over by a British Hong Kong based company called Jardine Matheson around 1992. Jardines offloaded Cunard to a Norwegian company called Kaevener around 1996, who in turn sold it on to Carnival. Cunard is therefore a US company. That it may opt to register some of their vessels in the United Kingdom is neither here not there.
considering cunard still operates individually and was not amalgamated or absorbed into carnival, its still a british company. people dnt say asda is an american company just cus its owned by walmart.
When the QM2 entered San Francisco it flew the US "courtesy flag" on the right yardarm. When it passed through the Panama Canal it flew the Panamanian flag. In other words, when it enters a foreign port, it flies the national flag of that country as a courtesy. US registered ships do likewise. More.............. Red Fox
Yes, the ship is a true amalgam. It was built in France, it is American owned, and it is registered in the United Kingdom. It flies only one flag at the stern, i.e. the British Red Ensign.
Because the ship is registered in the UK the British government have the right to commandeer it and use it in times of war.
How is it? Nothing about it is british apart from the crew! It's more french, french built, owned by Americans. They only try and make it appear british so the americans buy the tickets. It's a travesty that these ships aren't built in british yards!
H&W was and is a British shipyard, that's my whole point, this ship should've been built in a british yard, as the new aircraft carriers are. Next we'll be getting foriegn yards to build our navel ships. Please don't call me dude, it's annoying!
Its British, says in manual i hav in hand (official! i work on it) flies U.S & Brit flag Bcos US company Carnival bought the BRAND. Mostly Brit staff & use white star line just like Titanic, Cunard bought WSL in 1930's. Mr Cunard was Brit, thats y QM2 keeps Brit identity, 2 end the argument, just like the Titanic it has title RMS, most people think stands 4 Royal Majesty's Service, actually stands 4 Royal Mail Service after Mr Cunards mail ship from UK 2 US in the late 1800's. RMS QM2!
Actually Cunard is owned by Carnival Cruise Line, which is American so that makes this Ship American. It only flies the British flag because Cunard used to be a British company, but it now longer is so it flies both the British and American flag.
yes yes built in france so were chunks of concorde French the fact is Queen Mary was ENglish the ship is English owned. Basicaly its all about culture we have it and the colonials well...bless them
Think you'll find it was actually built in Hamburg...
