What the earth is that massive black coated ship, a tanker??

Alas, an LNG carrier - and not the hoped-for Type 075 LHA.

LOL one would think definitely not the Type 075 or even any military vessel since by the looks of it, that thing is probably 2 or 250,000 tons easy!! There are tankers or cargo carriers out there which makes even the Nimitz class look like a small boat.
SeaWise giant - 650,000 tons
That must be the most unmanuvable vechle humans ever made, I hope that monster could not exceed 5 knots, otherwise how would such a thing turn and stop itself?

Ships like that planned their moves several miles ahead, as you already know inertia is in play here; when in port it calls for a fleet of most powerful tugs to move it into its designated berth.
The SeaWise (Knock Nevis) Giant has an length 458.45 m (1,504.1 ft), a beam of 68.8 m (225 ft) and a draft of 24.611 m (80.74 ft). She displaces too much water to pass through the English Channel! The rudder weighs 230 tons, the propeller 50 tons.
Imagine aircraft carrier that size at 650,000 tons, over six times the diplacement of a Ford Class!
It would probably be around 1,500+ ft (460m) long and a beam of 300+ ft (100m)! Could probably carry upwards of 250 aircraft and allow for the landing and take off of aircraft like the C-17, etc.
It's be the "Super-duper" Carrier. LOL!
Those mamouth super tankers are phenominally large vessels.

i believe there was a time when Harland and Wolff had plans to build a super tanker which cross the million ton mark, however due to the damage they could cause in a acident, the enviromental disaster they were never built and for that reason no one in the world went any bigger!
