Not a yacht
editThe REV Ocean may look like a yacht, but it's not. A yacht is per definition a vessel for leisure or sports. This ship has been built for scientific purposes. Anyone to disagree? -- H005 (talk) 14:20, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- The ship designer indirectly also says it's not a yacht: “It started as a much smaller vessel,” said designer Espen Oeino. “It was more of a yacht than a research vessel, a yacht with research facilities…it evolved.” [1]. “My feeling is it started off more as a yacht and it has been moved more and more towards research,” says Øino, noting, for example, that space reserved for a large spa became an R&D lab. [2]
- If no one disagrees, I would like to edit the article accordingly and move it to a different name, e.g. 'Research Expedition Vessel Ocean or REV Ocean (ship). -- H005 (talk) 17:18, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
