I can see some interesting uses for that ship. Its got this ski jump up front to launch aircraft but if you are into water skiing...?

I have often toyed with the thought of what would happen if you are very rich and bought yourself a big super tanker. You could remove all the heavy metal fitting and the top decks and add a lot of glass. That way you could build yourself a huge mobile home complete with helipad.

You would need a decent airco of course. But I am sure there would be room in the budget somewhere.
