QM2 isn't even the "Greatest British ship"

That title goes to HMS VICTORY

I Love the MO, but it doesn't earn many points in my book because it lasted 50 years.

USS ENTERPRISE was in service from 1961 to 2012. She was the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier and is the "longest Naval Vessel Ever Built"


Her longevity was only matched by the USS CONSTITUION and the USS PUEBLO (Spy Ship)

Constitution is still afloat. According to wiki, the brits are having a hard time keeping Victory together on land.

"No" to all ships mentioned before. The USS Gerald R Ford is the greatest ship ever made.

Meh. It's big. But as an impressive feat of naval architecture and engineering, it's not in the same league with a modern nuclear submarine.

Are the doors big enough to fit two adults?

Probably best not to copy and paste from Wikipedia. The QM2 doesn’t even make the top 10 for largest cruise ships.

You might think a lot of these ships are the greatest, but you'd be wrong.

The greatest ship of all, is friendship.

There's a difference between ocean liners and most cruise ships

The Queen Elzaberh comes here on Thursdays but it's not an ocean liner

Those ships make transatlantic voyages. You’re talking semantics at this point. Cruise critic considers the QM2 a cruise ship, it’s a damn cruise ship.
