City on a ship

Could it be built? Yes. (physically possible)

Will it be? I doubt it.

I remember this thing from Popular Mechanics some time ago.

Not nearly as cool as the modular Navy ships which were in that magazine last year. Now those were freakin sweet.

Exactly. Slow moving, lots of people, a casino, no cops or Navy presence, just some sort of on-ship security force. Pirates would love it, there'd most likely be constant attacks on it especially if they allow up to 30k people from land a day come onto it, no way to screen that many people efficiently.
 
They already have cities on ships. They're called aircraft carriers. And they are very well defended.
 
They have been talking about this ship for a LONG time.. at least 2000, and maybe as far back as 1998 or so. I have been following it, and basically nothing has been happening since 2002ish...

It would be cool if it were built, but I don't think its going to be.
