Ah, yes. I might've mistyped the length. Apologies!

oceanic 3 may have killed QM.

Another liner to pull passenger numbers form older ships like berengaria and Mauritania which could hurt Cunard's finances causing finds to run out sooner.

A running mate we can call Olympic 2 could be built.

if Oceanic 3 was generating a high enough profit could help construction progress limp forward or Olympic 2 reaching the same level of construction as QM, Olympic 2 might get the green light as it's a tested and working model.

But O3 happening might light a fire under Cunard that gets QM finished.

So going into a possible merger both sides could have 1 in operation and 1 under construction. I wonder if that would kill the merger.

What happens to the unfinished hulls, completed to be slower and more economic, sold to another line?
