Jumboization: Why Ships Get Cut in Half 🤯

Dare: say “jumboization” five times fast. 👏 Fun facts that didn’t make the video: The Navy actually started this whole thing back in 1959, when they took an attack sub called USS George Washington, cut her in half, and welded in a missile compartment. They do it to airplanes too. The Air Force jumboized 270 C-141 Starlifters by adding new sections in front of and behind the wings. USS Jimmy Carter’s midbody insertion cost $887 million, and that’s just the modification, not the sub itself. Enchantment of the Seas gained 151 cabins from that addition. Aka more guests, aka more $$$ in the bank. #denisonyachting #superyacht #shipbuilding #navalarchitecture
