Now, what kind of cruise ship is shaped like an ocean liner, has three propellers and a conning tower? Something like the SS France/Norway, perhaps.

VTOL slider to control propeller pitch
Trim slider to control rudder
Roll to control ship list
VTOL slider 1/3 up and thrust at 15% for more realistic speed when sailing straight. When turning, increase thrust.

A relatively large ocean liner, the Savanne VIII started out as a nuclear powered ocean liner designed to showcase the power of a nuclear reactor. But due to the decreasing number of immigrants, the Savanne VIII became a cargo liner, carrying passengers, automobiles and freightbetween smaller ports. And now with its exterior unchanged, its being used as a cruise ship.
