Okay, everything you opined is not true: there are numerous species of gulls, terns, shearwaters, and other larids, but no "seagulls" nor "sea gulls", nor see gulls! 😮😮😮😮. Some larids do migrate, some are year round residents, and some are opportunists. The reasons that they do what they do is not a mystery to observers, but apparently is a mystery to you. Knowledge is the key, not limpid observations. Cheerily!

[@andrewyork3869]

​@averteddisasterbarely2339 No, it will never be economical to have a battery-powered ship due to issues with power density both watts/kilogram and watts/liter matter on a ship. Batteries taking up revenue bearing space is non ideal. Not getting into charging times for a 100 plus megawatt battery pack.

[@rolodexter]

The Meraviglia cruise ship was built at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in St. Nazaire, France. It is the largest cruise ship ever built for a European ship owner. The construction of the ship took four years and required 6 million hours of work from thousands of people. The design of the Meraviglia was influenced by new technologies in fluid mechanics and shipbuilding. The hull of the ship was designed with a computer-optimized profile that reduces water resistance. The propellers are also new generation propellers with a high electric power output. These propellers allow the ship to cruise at high speed with almost no vibrations. The construction of the Meraviglia was a major undertaking. The shipyard had to develop new techniques and improve its organization in order to meet the tight deadline. The ship was built in sections, which were then assembled in a giant construction zone. The largest lifting machine in Europe, the tgp, was used to move the blocks of steel that make up the ship.

It's driven with electricity. The propellers are connected to electric motors. It's been that way for decades now. I was on the Celebrity Solstice completed on 2008 and It's the same way.

HaHaHaHa.... 'solar panels that will power an entire ship'!

[@dyneslair3158]

I might be missing some context from the video but solar is actually improving in cost and capacity at an exponential rate. Theoretically not far in the future this IS possible and the most cost effective solution. That being said It would have to be paired with a massive power bank of batteries to be viable and reliable. A ship of that size also has a massive power requirement for such a dense area. Size being one of the limiting factors for solar that definitely can add to the challenge of figuring out creative ways to place panels ex if they can be integrated into ship decks to not take up usable space and weight capacity. If in your mind you're thinking of the expensive low power panels of even 5 to 10 years ago this is quite a funny thought. A ship brimming with solar panels covering every inch just to run the communications tower and a few light bulbs hah. Crazy to see how far things have come.
