Ah, but it's not an exact replica of the first, so the religious extremists won't recognize it when they see it!

Hi Daniel

I disagree
I think it would be a major tourist attraction and lots of people would want to go on it.
But it would not be exactly the same, I would presume the hull under water would have to be double skinned and I dont think they would put triple expansion coal fired steam engines in it, they would probably be diesel electrics?! But in China , who knows!!
