[@tba8241]

Difference between a cruise ship and a liner? I know,do you?

[@rlk3490]

@@tba8241 ​ @tba8241 Sure I do. It was not my intention to be cocky or anything... just saying this is a cruise ship. Ocean liners are not top heavy, they are sleek for speed and hydrodinamic in design to better face the open ocean waves and weather. Most important, they could do (the QM2 still can) cruising voyages, but the main purpose of an ocean liner was carry passengers that were emigrating of going to do business from point A to B. Cruise ships, on the other hand, are desgined for short range (or frequent harbor dockings, mostly returning to their departure ports) sailings for thousands of people with no business or inmigration intentions, and with lots of themes. They are mostly top heavy, not necessarily hydrodinamic, not fast and, even though they can and do transatlantic crossings, they are best suited for coastal weathers. Those are, in a nutshell, the main differenes between them. One of the reasons aging ocean liners were retired as cruise ships were their class systems, smaller cabins, lack of ammenities other than those needed, and deep draught.

Nothing was said about electric power generation. The azipods & bow-thrusters certainly have minutely controllable electric motors, so I'm guessing that the "main engines" are actually enormous AC generators which supply everything on-board. 64,000 kw (approx 85,120 hp) is a boat-load of electron-motion.

Let's keep designing and building these ships taller and taller

[@benediktmorak4409]

funny,one never sees the people whose farms are on the Ems River and pastures are regularly flooded when one of those big ships is being towed out into the sea. Meyer Werft IS the biggest employer there, AND the biggest tax payer, which no one denies. BUT how much bigger can they do it? I think in the end they will have to build a second Meyer downriver. Where they can finish all that can not be done -inland-. Or build them even bigger and faster and what not, there...

[@aquarius8k56]

the taller ships are,the easier for them to capsize due to being top heavy.

not necessarily. how much still is under water and not visible. cabins for employees,stores,machinery and the likes are all under the waterline, and of course so are the ballast tanks.@@aquarius8k56

Liberty ships during WW2 were built piecemeal like this. First ships took 230 days, last ships in 42 days.

[@Xsiondu]

Didn't they build one ship in like 36 hours one time?

[@procatprocat9647]

28:00 Why stress a small part of a deck with 250 tonnes of preload? Once the jacks are removed, the rest of the ship will stress that length of weld continuously, and dynamic loads will add to the stress. Much better to use one of the many gap filling techniques and avoid stressing the ship before it's done anything.

[@hammerdown3876]

thats insane how they weld a whole half ship section to another .... just think of the number of precision welds... :o

The shipyard, one of the largest builders of cruise ships in the world, has been in financial difficulties since the corona crisis. Initially this was due to a lack of orders, but the order portfolio is now filling up nicely again. This is partly due to a large order from the American Disney, which has ordered four cruise ships.

[@neiljosephbennett9119]

Massive - yes ..... 'ocean liner' - definitely not. Queen Mary 2 is currently the only vessel worthy of that moniker.

[@F.Taborsky]

IT IS NOT an "ocean liner", IT IS a "cruise ship".... this video is interesting, but please, do not confuse people by wrong terminology, especially in documentary content. The ocean liner is a transporter to cross an ocean as fast as possible (and in luxury) on a regular schedule, whereas the cruise ship is a floating amusement park that is able to move on its own, very slowly to let passengers spend as much time on board to enjoy attractions as possible. The only operative ocean liner in the world is currently the RMS Queen Mary 2 of Cunard line and she is literally one-of-a-kind.

[@911HRW]

I wouldn’t be too much of a bore, many commenters on here are spouting incorrect information too so,,, no one’s perfect

[@alex9621]

The QM2 isn't much faster than a regular cruise ship, only around 6 knots. Also, it doesn't have a regular schedule of crossings, it's all over the place between regular cruises and transatlantics
