Hi guys,

Im working on a project that will simply blow your mind. I have always wanted to design the largest ships imagenable, as you can see in some of my previous designs.
Here's a sneak preview:

Everything you see might be changed in the end.

No it's my own design. It will feature facilities of an entire city, an airport, greenhouses for food production, artificial forrests for entertainment and much more, housing at max 3 million people. A complete nation at sea.

The Freedom ship would be about 8 times smaller than this one.

inspired by clive cussler? I have just read a book by him some weeks ago, it featured an ship that has similar specs to yours...... in dutch it was called 'atlantis herontdekt' or something

No that isn't the reason either. Last night I was bored so I was thinking, how big of a ship could I possibly design whilst keeping a certain level of realism? At first it was to become a military ship, but I figured that a ship this large was not needed for any kind of mission, so I turned to the civil side of naval enginering. I was inspired by the ships used in the film 2012 on which the surviving world population had to live their lives. In the future living space will become less and less, especially in the Netherlands. So why not build a ship that can be a 'part' of a country that sails the open oceans.

Some features the ship will have:
- 620.000 appartments (for 2,3,4 or 5 person-families, for sale/to rent)
- 25.000 luxery appartments (for 2 or 3 person-families, for sale/to rent)
- 9 International hotels (24.000 rooms)
- 228 offices (employing over 300.000 people)
- 240 conference rooms
- 462 restaurants
- 26 cinema's
- 49 supermarkets
- 6 super-size malls (over 1400 stores)
- 12 theater's
- 28 museums
- 12 swimming pools
- 8 footballfields
- 20 gyms

Four nuclear plants each containing 4 reactors produce over 5.000 Gigawatts on a daily basis.
Foodproduction shipwide is at 60.000 tons on a weekly basis.

I think this will oversize any previous designs of super ships.

That ship draws a good 125 feet. Good luck finding anywhere to dock it for either building, refits, or refueling.

It's being built out on the North Sea. Engeneers from over 32 countries all over the world are working on the ship and is expected to be finished in 20 years. Nearly all segments are pre-fab. It's is nuclear powered, and eventually self-sufficient in food, water and electricity production. All other supplies are either hoisted in on board from large freighters, or flown in by commercial jets.

Isn't the North Sea one of the most stormiest seas in the world? How would you be able to keep things from breaking apart?
