Why you shouldn't use Popular Mechanics and similar magazines as sources for real designs.

On the subject of those magazines, it'd be cool to see a draw of that hilarious container ship from one of PopSci's recent issues. That thing, although I haven't the slightest idea about its feasibility, is sexy.

I'm still looking for a bigger one, but this is what she looks like.

It looks like the ark from the 2012 movie. Perhaps the concept artist got inspired by it :)

Looks doable enough from a physical perspective, but from an economic perspective? Mixed cargo and passenger ships died with the advent of the container. The only exception is RO/PAX ships, but they are the exception.

Also, what are those fins on the top?
