    I understand the yanks have been experimenting with unmanned ships just off ther coast of Mexico for some time now. But a crew of 22 may be th eideal number but will they sail with that number?
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    The Biggest ship on the planet I don't think so. In the 90 ties the Gordie's built the Million Ton Tanker. I am lead to believe.

    What is the largest ship??

    Sometimes by tonnage and also by measurement.
    I thought the QM2 was the biggest passenger ship by dimensions, length, beam and draught etc.
    but by tonnage other cruise ship are "bigger", but that is volumetric tonnage.
    A container ship seems to be measured by the number of containers it can carry .

    Oh gotta go SHE IS CALLING
    SHE has found me a job to do.
    call later.
    Cheers
