At 550,000 tons DWT this is the largest ship ever reconstructed. TT "Seawise Giant" was almost destroyed in the Iran/Iraq war, then became "Jahre Viking" (as depicted). Converted to a FSO (storage/transfer) as "Knock Nevis" and finally as "Mont" and scrapped in Gadani 2010.
Ship plan provided by vessel owner.
Thought it might be fun to compare her size to other models here. 450m LOA! Max 14 knots, 5 miles needed to stop. 9m dia. single prop powered by 50,000 SHP steam turbine plant.
To-date she is still the largest self propelled floating artifact ever built.

ALVAMA drew this same ship (and did a much better job of it) not a day ago. Are you sure this is entirely your work?

And please, for the love of God, cut down the whitespace on the image.

I believe we're the victim of a perfectly timed double-post of the same ship. I don't think this is a rip off of ALVAMA's work (it's not similar enough).

At any rate, the author doesn't seem to be around to confirm or deny...

Gosh, I *swear* you bastards just troll this forum waiting for one of your glorious and vaunted senior members to post another MS paint wonder, and then spend the next 30 seconds fapping over it.

Cut people some slack :lol:

Btw, nice work by the OP

Not really, quite frankly. While it looks like a decent enough start, it's hardly finished quality - and breaks most of the Shipbucket rules besides.

You know what I hate? Lurkers who come out of nowhere with a stupid opinion.

Yeah, his only two posts on this entire forum both contain references to masturbating over ship drawings. Clearly not someone of the proper caliber we want to keep around here.
