I'd mod you up if I could, seeing as the delusional people apparently have mod points today, modding up BS revisionist history and downmodding facts and reason.
you know that an enclosed ship IS a faraday cage right? its why the antennae's are on the outside of the hull. for an enclosed ship all they'd have to do is disconnect the antenna.
a foot thick? for a vessel 1000' long, 250' wide, and a few hundred tall? congratulations, you just more than doubled the weight of the ship. that's that many fewer containers it can now carry.
and again: have fun unloading 14,000 containers from your idiot design theory. there's a reason the top is open. you have twenty rows of containers? guess what: the unloading dock has 20 gantries side by side, so that each row can be unloaded at the same time. and they reach across the entire width of the ship. to get anything close to that efficiency you'd have to have a gantry system within the enclosed cargo space, one for each rank and file of containers aboard, to move the containers to the opening to be received by the unloading gantry on the dock. but that's even more weight and complexity.
again: stop until you actually learn something about cargo ship operations.
more or less constant. talking about engines so large the mechanic can shut down specific cylinders and walk inside it, while the rest of the engine is still running. these machines are not maintenance free.
submersible ships are just as stupid as the "bank vault" idea.
too much added weight, added complexity, no real gain. you also make loading/unloading an inefficient nightmare compared to the current system of gantries and cranes.
really though, the entire idea of entirely unmanned cargo ships is foolish anyway. they are already highly automated with the crew only there for emergencies and tasks that cannot be automated. it's why they already operate with typical crews (note difference from max crew) of 4-15 people depending on ship size/type.
the place the real unmanned advances are being made is at the loading/unloading area, with the gantries also being more and more automated. with computer databases and preplanning of loading so that multiple container shipments are stacked together in order of delivery and location (rather than being spread out randomly among the 14,000+ containers, at different locations and depths within the stacks on ship) it's all very close to maximum efficiency.
They already do have a minimum of decking several stories below the top of the gunwale, with a minimum amount of hull and bulkheads needed for structural integrity to carry the load of containers stacked some 10-20 tall.
what? did you think the containers you can see above the gunwale were the only ones, just sitting on top of a deck, and the interior was empty?
please stop posting until you learn what you are talking about. it is clear you know nothing about ships, container ships, or anything resembling practical design.
youre taking the position that the solution to bad governance is to burn it down and abandon it, rather than replace the bad governors doing the bad governing.
ultimately if youre dissatisfied with your democratically elected governors (and they are, even in the EU), you have only yourself to blame: you put them there.
next time, put someone better in there.
democracy is great, but it requires vigilance. you cant just say "right then, you're elected, have fun", and go back to watching TV.
The United Kingdom's component of the 2014 European Parliament election was held on Thursday 22 May 2014,[3][4] coinciding with the 2014 local elections in England[5] and Northern Ireland.
They fought specifically over the state's right to own slaves. They didn't fight over the right to secede. They seceded over the right to own slaves. It's in the declarations of secession of each of the states that did so.
ah yes. the classic of watching a politician take a position he never in a million years expects to come true just to get some wanker's votes, and then get shocked when it actually happens.

More Grade AAA BS.

that is some Grade AAA bull manure.

This is what a container ship looks like without containers:

neither are the muslims, but that doesn't stop you idiots from claiming it, then or now.
nationalism is never healthy, or a good thing.
Speak for yourself.
I hung out with those guys.
They had only the alcohol on base.
Hell, they converted one of their barracks huts into a pub!
and every time you speak you prove why anarchy is not a desirable form of government and prove why civilization and governments do in fact matter.
Eh?
And what's this then?

The United Kingdom's component of the 2014 European Parliament election was held on Thursday 22 May 2014,[3][4] coinciding with the 2014 local elections in England[5] and Northern Ireland.
And this?

Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are elected by the population of the member states of the European Union (EU), divided into constituencies.
[..]
Currently, all member states hold elections to the European Parliament (EP) using various forms of proportional representation.

They are neither unelected nor unaccountable.
They are however quite boring.
Which is a good thing.
You don't want an exciting government.
It tends to lead to "interesting times".
who mods this ahistorical drivel insightful?
They fought specifically over the state's right to own slaves.
They didn't fight over the right to secede.
They seceded over the right to own slaves.
It's in the declarations of secession of each of the states that did so.
The unelected bureaucrat myth must die.

well. no one ever accused libertarians of being smart.
Lord of The Ring and Hobbit could beat I bet.
"Oh hey...more walking!"
I dunno.
I googled NC++17.
I got pretty much the results I expected/hoped for.
STFU noob.
Mathblaster was awesome.
now that's some grade A revisionist BS.
Nope.
