I've never understood why there's the Queen Mary sunk in Honk King harbour in You Only Live Twice. (the film, it's a while since I read the book) -- Tarquin 10:13 Jan 9, 2003 (UTC)
The RMS Queen Elizabeth was destroyed by fire in Hong Kong harbor... Maybe somebody has their ships mixed-up... --mav
I probably misremembered the film. it's been a while. -- t
A lot of these ocean liner pages seem to be confused between displacement and gross tonnage. Gross tonnage is the common measure for passenger ships, and is a measure of enclosed space, not weight. Displacement is usually considerably less.--Nycto 08:06, Oct 17, 2004 (UTC)
Okay, this is why I don't like putting ship's specifications in tables, you end up with a bunch of blank spaces. The "Cost" field is pretty useless, as very few people are going to know how to convert the currency of the time into today's money.--Nycto 19:19, Dec 12, 2004 (UTC)
