Evidently lots of highly educated engineers in this thread.
That for some reason don't even know a tsunami isn't going to negatively effect ships out at sea, especially ones this big.
You guys are funny.
This isn't a "Tsunami"…
Yeah pretty interesting, though my initial thought is, for something THAT long, the whole ship would have to allow for quite a lot of flex.
Its an interesting concept but the presentation leaves a lot to be desired - I mean if you are going to spend 11 Billion building it - it should look better than some Mad Max Floating Prison of the future.

The "FREEDOM" ship....Ha!
How could there be freedom if you are forced to share a limited space with the same people in the middle of an ocean?
Tax haven and a disaster waiting to happen.

what IF a tsunami or a rouge wave were to go head on with this ship?

Why would anyone want to build that thing.

If I had any say in it I'd re-direct the money for the ship and half the DoD's budget for as long as needed so we could build a real ship. A solar system capable space craft and forget the floating islands. Now that would be a ship, and no tsunamis or rogue waves to worry about.
