Applesweeter, Humans design and build huge ships because they want to and can.

How did you get a tour of it

Dear All,

I have one question about psychology:

*Why do human want to design and to build huge ship and large aeroplane, but no other species of animals?

I mean that only human will dream about building big travelling vehicle, such as A380 or the Oasis of the Sea. However, animals will not even dream about it.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your craetive idea and brainstorm!!! :)

That's what I'm talkin' about.

I doubt building a ship in two parts on separate shipyards and then combining them would even be possible. And in the end there's no need since Hyundai has a 672-meter dry dock in Ulsan. STX's shipyard in Saint-Nazaire might also be big enough to accommodate the proposed Princess Kaguya in one piece.

Last minute changes, The ship got a new name. The fat sperm whale

[Cianothekid]
