It says ship in the title - first word even. Fail grammar di'ja

In the Navy, we used to refer to submarines as "boats" and, of course, the boats that you carry on ships but I digress.

Anyway, that monster that is the subject of this thread is loaded way above the gunwales with containers full of Dollar Store chachkies from the People's Republic.

In the dictionary, boat is a generic term for anything that floats -
a vessel for transport by water, constructed to provide buoyancy by excluding water and shaped to give stability and permit propulsion
and in Maritime Air Command they were often referred as targets

To name a boat Benjamin Franklin? Sure they did ... and prior claim too.

The Benjamin Franklin is French owned, commissioned by a French company, built in China using supership building techniques that were developed in Korea. No American content, except for the name.
