    It might also be advantageous to have several of those massive 200,000+ Gross Register Ton ships retrofitted or built with nuclear reactors, especially if those ships are state operated. There’s really no reason not to when you start to reach sizes as absurd as that. A Nimitz Class Supercarrier is roughly 1/20 to 1/40 the displacement of some of those cargo vessels.
