- Titanic II = “Made in China”:
Mostly likely they’ll use one or two large diesel engines from a container ship. The hull and drive of the vessel likely would be based off a container ship design reworked to look like the old Olympic Class liner.
- Titanic II = “Made in China”:
Hyundai ship yards has considerable experience at constructing large vessels probably more so then anyone in China. Though the best contractors for a cruise ship would be a company like Fincantieri in Italy or STX in Finland. A modern cruise ship internally is a very different beast then a oil tanker or container ship. I’m not even sure if China has the facilities and technology to build a modern cruise ship. Cargo vessels tend to have one or two very large engines with direct drive while …

No you are not. I think it’ll probably catch on fire at sea.
- Titanic II = “Made in China”:
One of flaws of the original Titanic it was built of steel with a high sulfur content which caused brittleness in cold water. Chinese steel generally has a high sulfur content due to poor QM and use of coke “not the stuff you drink” made from high sulfur coal.

That’s a pricy video card.

- Xbox One “Clearly Inferior” To PS4, Sony Stock Surges:
Despite the slowish CPU it would be more then fast enough to play PS1 and PS2 games very well. How you could make PS2 emulation run fast is break up all the parts into separate threads and each one gets it’s own core to run on. It might run much better then single and dual threaded emulators on PCs.

The Atari 7800 and Sega Master system were technically superior to the NES but the NES out sold both combined.
