Unfortunately you can't get on the docks (damn you 9/11), also no time or money to get there

If it's not too far from you and if you have time, you should go and stand up close to get the full impact of its size.

What a fitting name for such a grand vessel. 25 knots is quite impressive for just one propeller. It must be freaking huge because I see it's 'fixed-pitch'.
