Wowser! Wonder how many gallons per mile it burns?

I think the QE2 got something like 12 inches per gallon.

That's a tiny bit longer than the old deisel powered carrier that
I served on. Much larger war and other ships exist
today.

I did a little research and they say between 49’ and a 125’ per gallon.
Don’t know,if that is Imperial gallon.

They were also doing a lot more than just pushing a ship through the
water and it was faster. This was a city floating out there. They used
a hell of a lot of energy sitting at anchor.

Can hardly wait until the cruise ships start up again for real and about
a month later 500 passengers get deathly ill from some illness
contracted on that voyage.

Thats exactly what we expect you to say. You wish misery and grief
on others because you are a miserable old coot down on your luck.
Have a crappy day.

I can only imagine!
I went to the ports arrivals and departures where it lists the Marco Polo at 174,000 G?T.
Not sure if that means fully loaded or dry. That's almost equal to two Nimitz class aircraft carriers.
One site compared it to the French aircraft carrier, Charles d'Gaulle. The French warship looked puny in the comparison graphic..

===

It has a single diesel engine rated at 107,390 hp. Top speed for the Marco Polo is 25 kts but probably operated a bit slower at around 20 kts. At that speed it would burn about 4,000 gallons per hour or 200 gallons per nautical mile. At 6076 feet per nm, it would burn a little over 30 gallons per foot.

Correction: Make that 30 feet per gallon, not 30 gallons per foot.

Good grief...even with high speed fuel pumps, it must take a long time
to refuel that monster.
