[USMA:28180] RE: Queen Mary 2

[Predrag Lezaic]

In this article about Queen Mary 2 most figures are given in firstly FFU and in brackets Metric. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/001106/80/aoccm.html   All of the measurements on the French maker’s site are given in Metric so my best guess is that they used metric for the work. I can’t find who the designer is. That would probably be the place to look for the real answer.   http://www.marine.alstom.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/View&inifile=futuretense.ini;futuretense_xcel.ini&c=at_product_type&cid=1006515706299&rid=1006332188781   Predrag   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of john mercer Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 6:21 PM To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:28178] Queen Mary 2   Hello everyone.  Last night i did some web searching about the Queen Mary 2.  The 2 sites i was on gave her measurements in FFU.  I wonder if she was designed in metric or FFU.  Seen she was built in France i hope it would be Metric.  I would hope that all the materials to build her were in metric.  I think that a lot of the cruise ships are built in metric countries. Maybe somebody if they have the time could find out if she was designed and built in metric or FFU. Thanks for everybody's help.
