According to a little, ugly nub with a giant ball of curly hair and sprinkled red dots on his face at my school, the following statement is true:

"I don't see why they don't tie 2 cruise ships together, it would make them a lot steadyier and safer."

...

Now please. Tell me, isn't this the most brain-less, stupid, most moronic statement.... On top of that, the little nub keeps holding his statement, saying we should attach cruise ships onto eachother for more stability.... He won't accept any reasoning...

I think he has some severe mental problems tbh.

(P.S.: He can never stand the fact that I beat him at TF2, C&C3, COD, Crysis and .. well.. pretty much every game actually)

He's probably basing his idea off of something like this:

While the idea itself has merit, the application of it to cruise ships (or anything large, for that matter) is absolutely, totally, and completely, ludicrous.  Large ships are already quite stable.  They don't need pontoons hanging off the side, or another ship to "hold their hand" through the water.

Aaaah, but then we are actually talking about Catamaranic Cruise ships! Not 2 seperate cruise ships, tied together! aha!

EDIT: Oh and, catamaranic cruise ships are created because of speed, not in function of stability!

Don't tug boats do that but in a different way with different mass?

Tug boats are actually used to help get big (usually container) ships into place, in a **edit** or so, they aren't meant to increase stability.
