What a behemoth and it is about to be superseded by a bigger ship! Some good pics that relate its size to the usual football pitches but the picture of the man and engine and the yacht sailing across the stern. It raises a couple of interesting points though. In deep water, where this vessel is not constrained by her draft would one expect her to give way, yes, is the answer based on Col Regs, but could she? The other point is the anchors, stockless Naval types, I doubt that they would work, they just look so small.
