Phillip,

Thanks for the heads up. It appears that the BBC got the specifics wrong and changed their story... take a look at the original version from google cache:

I'll make the changes as well.

Your headline reads incorrectly and is misleading. ("Cunard Lines orders new larger version of the Queen Mary 2.") Cunard is NOT building a liner bigger than the QM2. It is considerably smaller than the QM2 but will be larger than the soon-to-be-launched Queen Victoria. The new ship will be named Queen Elizabeth, after the ill-fated first Queen Elizabeth.
