@xhappybunnyx Completely negligible if acceleration stays low. We already do this daily when inspection and pilot boats need to bow up to large cargo vessels to put people up the Jacob's ladder. In fact IRL it's much worse because a pilot/CG boat needs to keep constant acceleration into the fender smashed against the hull to maintain control of the boat and Coxswains do this daily with only 6-12 months of training.

The reason the Vikings succeeded as sailors before modern shipbuilding techniques was the incredible flexibility of their Drakkar, otherwise their ships would likely shatter crossing open seas.

[@rykehuss3435]

That thing could be built entirely out of the largest ship engines and fuel tanks and it still wouldnt move an inch. There's a reason why ships are long and relatively narrow. Water drag is a bitch. That thing is at minimum pushing two Oasis of the Seas SIDEWAYS through water. Imagine the size of that bow wake, it would not be allowed anywhere near shores because of the tsunamis it'd cause so it would live in the open ocean.

Concrete ships are actually a thing (reinforced concrete specifically), but that makes construction more expensive, and requires much thicker hull, which reduces the actual internal space you can use and hurts hydrodynamics. They're also a much bigger pain to make because, well, it's concrete, you can't just rivet and weld it into shape, you have to arrange the rebar and then let the concrete set and cure. Really they're mostly made as unpowered barges or pontoons, and the only real time that saw them being made in number was during the world wars, when more conventional materials (see: steel) were in high demand and there was a great need for cargo ships and barges for logistics.

Now, they do only work with slow ahead or a dead stop, so they would need either doors to keep the thing flodded or just do what amphibious assault ships do and raise the welldeck so it is dry when going fast (or rather, raise the whole vessel). Now the one maybe stupid thing in their well deck design is them having more stuff below the welldeck, but i am almost sure that the LHA's of the US Navy do this as well, so there can't be that much wrong with it.
