FlowersInHisHairsays...Largest AND biggest? This I gotta see.
GeeSussFreeKsays...Those of us in the nuclear community have discussed turning container-ships like these into a functional civilian nuclear navy. The normal powerhouse in this beast is a Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C, an amazing 107 389.049 horsepower engine, and even though they talk about its fuel efficiency with it...it still burns hundreds of tons of bunker fuel a day (nasty stuff). They also go slower now to burn less fuel in this energy conscience world, whereas a reactor basically has no fuel costs. You wouldn't need a large one either, 80MW or so, so design specs would be very modest.
