Isn't she beautiful!!! (a parade of ugly cruise ships!)

That is NOT a ship!    It is an inhabitable turtle!

The hull drag will be horrendous - they will have to put air-bubbling systems under the four legs and the body.
Whenever the thing starts rolling, the people in the end cabins on the arms & legs will be ejected through the deckheads!
And the beam of the thing is so great it will be impossible to get into most ports.

I cannot see any engine exhausts anywhere so I guess they will be where any turtle normally has his overboard discharge!

Once into any sort of a seaway, the loadings on the attachment points of those front & back legs will be into the not-going -to-last-long-territory!  Who dreams these idiotic ideas up anyway?

So just to be clear, you're not a fan?

I love seeing a real engineers opinion of these pi in the sky ship designs😀👍
