Is the ship Oasis of the seas unsinkable?

I want to know what others think I've heard others say it was how about you?





Answer :
There's no such thing as an "Unsinkable" ship. A ship can be engineered to be more water tight and even have floatation engineered in, but never unsinkable. The ocean is unforgivable and will find a way to sink a floating item.





Answer :
There is only one way to make an unsinkable boat or ship... And that is to fill the hull with enough flotation foam that it - even if it is blown apart, the pieces would float. This is currently done on many small fishing and recreational type boats.
On an ocean liner however, the cost of the flotation foam would exceed the cost of the vessel... so, it is not done.
So... Can it sink? You bet it can.

Answer :
It is not "unsinkable". People stopped calling ships unsinkable after Titanic. However, it is very VERY HARD to sink it. Many new things have been put on it so it won't sink
