Knock Nevis? You might be avoiding collisions and pirates only by luck though.
What's the biggest that's not much riskier than cargo ships? (which have someone at the bridge, engine and probably lookout 24/7)
Couldn't you put so many computer terminals on a megayacht that nowhere's more then seconds from controls, radar, radio, cameras of EVERYTHING, weather/wave/navigation charts, autopilot etc.? With yellow/red alert lights/120 dB wake up alarms happening when you might need to check a screen cause "there's a radar echo only X miles away", "collision course", "someone might be hailing you", "check engine light", "low oil pressure oi, might want to stop the I'm flying Jack imitation/poop/chess/making out and check for leaks?".. That doesn't seem too dangerous, provided you don't become incapacitated or have to repel pirates. Sagittarian Milky Way ( talk) 04:05, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
