So basically even with a "garage" added she still has good looks here compared to current vehicle carriers.

Hahaha Denis ... if you say so it shall be ! :-)
Perhaps the designers of QM2 were inspired by basics of this design (seen above) ............ :D :D
Cheers my friend (J)

You are indeed right Mr.Dot,, after that significant makeover the three Royal Mail 'white beauties' appeared to look like this ..... however,, the hull remained still 'as original' although repainted in black instead of the previous elegant white colour !
Kind regards,
Jadran
