The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The largest battleship in the history of the world. <i/>

--------------------

The biggest battleship ever built is the Japanese battleship Yamato, which had a full load displacement of nearly 72,000 tons and was armed with nine 46 cm (18.1 in) main guns, the largest ever mounted on a warship. It was designed to counter the U.S. Navy's battleship fleet during World War II.

Some of the passenger cruise ships I have been on are in excess of 100,000 tons. They are probably even bigger these days.
