A proposal has emerged for a colossal nuclear-powered ocean city, intended to house 80,000 inhabitants and circumnavigate the globe. Dubbed the 'Freedom Ship', this vessel would stretch almost a mile in length and span 800 feet in width, housing a population of 50,000 full-time occupants. It'll also have a shopping mall, three acres of parks, and even a football stadium onboard.
