Freedom will displace 2.7 million tons, about four times more than Seawise Giant (aka Jahre Viking). The ship will be built of 520 airtight steel cells.

Supercarriers are the largest warships ever built, larger than the largest battleships laid down by any country. The United States Navy has ten active supercarriers as of 2015. The Soviet Union was constructing one supercarrier before cancelling it in 1991.

In a highly symbolic visit, the world's largest container ship docked on Wednesday in Hamburg, Germany's premier port city. Fully loaded, the Marco Polo would be unable to enter Hamburg's harbor and the vessel's arrival has highlighted disputed plans to prepare the city for the next generation of mega-ships. Photos. dapd.

Royal Caribbean is currently the title-holder for world’s largest cruise ship, or rather the world’s three largest cruise ships, to be exact. A fourth cruise ship is on the way that will top all massive cruise ships of today and possibly the future. More on that later. With a gross tonnage of 160,000, a length of 1,112 feet, and room for 3,634 passengers, Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas is the largest cruise ship ever built.

The first ship to be described by The New York Times as a supercarrier was HMS Ark Royal in 1938, with a length of 685 feet (209 m) and a displacement of 22,000 tons, designed to carry 72 aircraft. In 1943 the superlative was transferred to the 45,000-ton Midway-class carriers as a step-up from the 27,000-ton Essex class.
