Not a bad idea. The only thing that I would see as a roadblock, is the weight that the ship loses between the bunker tanks, existing engines and associated gear. Not sure if the LNG would provide enough weight to not change her cog too much. Otherwise, they'll have to add ballast somewhere. As long as they stay away from the new turbines, it doesn't seem like a bad idea on the surface.
Thank you, I knew you'd have a great answer.
Just for giggles I looked. I can't find anything where he has contracted with a yard and has actual dates. Most of the info I can find suggests the project is either abandoned or close to it, aND the web site hasnt been updated i 2 years.His trademark for Blue Star line has been set to abndoned, the yard that supposedly is building jas to make a lot of changes to even build her as they done even have a drydock let alone a contract. They launch ships sideways, and even her launch cruise changed from South Hampton to China. One of the other suppositions is that he is having cash flow problems as he is selling some per al items like his plane and his 2 most profitable business are losing big money. To the tune his net worth dropped by 1.7 billion
Interesting. I have an old friend who is a naval architect and sailed as a cheng on the banana boats in a prior life. He said that the power train was the same as the Forrestall Class carriers. Perhaps they were similar except for the teapot?
