SUPERSPEED 1/2 Perhaps the best Ferries in the World.
Royal Carribbean Liner or any recent builded Cruise Liner,with improved and more close to the reality simulation / manoeuvring response.

I would like to see the Icebreaker Yamal.

The N.S Yamal (Russian: Яма́л) is a Russian Arktika class nuclear powered icebreaker operated by the Murmansk Shipping Company. It is named after the Yamal Peninsula in Northwest Siberia; the name means End of the Land in the Nenets language.

Laid down in Leningrad in 1986, and launched in October 1992, after the end of communism in Russia, she never filled her designed role of keeping shipping lanes open. She has always carried passengers on arctic excursions. Yamal took an excursion to the North Pole to celebrate the Millennium. Yamal is the 12th surface ship ever to reach the north pole.

The Yamal is equipped with a double hull. The outer hull is 48 mm thick where ice is met and 25 mm elsewhere and has a polymer coating to reduce friction. There is water ballast between the inner and outer hulls which can be shifted in order to aid icebreaking. Icebreaking is also assisted by an air bubbling system which can deliver 24 mÂ³/s of air from jets 9 m below the surface. The Yamal can break ice while making way either forwards or backwards.

Yamal is one of Russian "Arctic" family of icebreakers, the most powerful icebreakers in the world. These ships must cruise in cold water to cool their reactors, so they cannot pass through the tropics to undertake voyages in the Southern hemisphere.

Yamal carries one helicopter and several Zodiac boats. Radio and satellite communications systems are installed which can provide navigation, telephone, fax, and email services. Amenities include a large dining room (capable of holding all 100 passengers in one sitting), a library, passenger lounge, auditorium, volleyball court, gymnasium, heated indoor swimming pool, a sauna, and an infirmary. She is equipped with 50 passenger cabins and suites, all with toilets, exterior windows, a television, and a desk.

It's specs.(To tell you about the ship and my N.S Savannah isn't exactly detailed right)

Length: 150 m (136 m at waterline)
Breadth: 30 m (28 m at the waterline)
Draft: 11.08 m
Height: 55 m keel to mast head
Displacement: 23,455 t
Maximum speed: 22 knot (44 km/h)
Cruising speed: 19.5 knot (36 km/h)
Crew: 150 (including 50 officers and engineers)
Passengers: 100, in 50 cabins and mini-suites
Power plant: two OK-900 171 MW nuclear reactors
Propulsion: two steam turbines driving 6 generators, total 75,000 hp (55.3 MW)

In my opinion this ship to will be a great addition to SS because in the next SS there will be antartica so why one Icebreaker when you can have 2 Icebreakers.

Wouldn't that be great!

These pics below show her on all of her Expedition's.

I would love to see any vessel that has a large interior; if there's one thing that I love about ships, it's exploring the inside of them!

So I wouldn't mind seeing a larger ship that can be explored upon the inside a bit more; I think that the icebreaker a couple posts above me would be a fun one. Or perhaps the interior of Titanic could be increased somewhat?

Master Captain · « **Reply #986 on:** January 14, 2009, 00:07:50 »

hmm, odd design i must say, but whatever floats the boat

Some 35,000 tons or so Tankers built around 1959 (with Midships superstructure)
Like my first Ship British Beacon (1959)

Also British Inventor (1970, 225,000 tonnes DWT) on which I sailed maiden Voyage..

And another big tanker , 'Welsh Venture' which I worked on at Blohm and Voss, Hamburg, that would be a good scenario, getting her out of the Drydock-

Some of the late 19th century Cunard and White Star ships

CUNARD: UMBRIA, ETURIA (last singlew screw iron hulled Cunarders rigged for sail), CAMPANIA & LUCANIA

WHITE STAR: TEUTONIC, BRITTNIC 2 OCEANIC. These were the last White Star ships built to compete with Cunard on speed. When Isamy Sr. steeped down J. Bruce changed the emphasis to good service speed and luxury The "Big Four" (CELTIC, CEDRIC, BALTIC, ADRIATIC) were nest to be followed by Olympic, Titanic and Gigantic BTW Capt. Smith commanded all of the big 4 on thier maiden voyages

One ship I'd want in the game would be the RMS Mauretania of 1907. She was one of the fastest of the ocean liners in the early 20th century, holding the Blue Riband from 1907 to 1929 (the Bremen snatched the Blue Riband on her maiden voyage). She was beloved by many people in her day and many people were dismayed to see her be sent off to be scrapped; one of whom was Franklin D. Roosevelt who thinks she should have been taken out to sea and sunk whole, giving her a *Viking's funeral*. Either her or the Queen Mary 2 should be added. We need some classic Atlantic liners besides the Titanic and the Titanic needs some upgrades (Grand Staircase anyone?).
