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.

"Eye witnesses have explained that when the container ship and the tuna vessel collided it was like watching a can opener on a can of baked beans."

"A few moments pass as we all stood, just watching.

Out of the silence, Jitesh says to me “Do you see what we are doing here Mr. Lee?”

I asked “What’s that, Jitesh?”
