This would probably be the largest bulk carrier ever built and the second largest ship after the Seawise Giant/Happy Giant/Jahre Viking/Knock Nevis/Mont if my other bulk carriers aren't involved.

VTOL slider controls the propeller pitch. Up=reverse down=forward. 1/2 up/down for best effect.
Trim slider to control rudder.

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
15,192,920 lbs / 6,891,392 Kg = 140,675.2 x 6 " / 152 mm shells or 87,101.0 torpedoes

Metacentric height 39.9 ft / 12.2 m
Roll period: 14.7 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 49 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.00
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 0.97

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0.873
Length to Beam Ratio: 6.61 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 38.25 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 17 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 32.81 ft / 10.00 m

- Stern: 24.61 ft / 7.50 m
- Average freeboard: 24.93 ft / 7.60 m
Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 3.5 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 145.5 %
Waterplane Area: 305,005 Square feet or 28,336 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 745 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 1,224 lbs/sq ft or 5,977 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 5.19
- Longitudinal: 2.73
- Overall: 3.21
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Poor seaboat, wet and uncomfortable, reduced performance in heavy weather

Ignore the armour statistics unless you are hauling cork and other buoyant materials. But even when you are not, its nearly unsinkable.

    @randomusername But if the cost of a naval nuclear reactor is excluded, two of these ships could be build and they would still cost less money than a B-2 when in service.
