1.) MSC Oscar

The Ten Biggest Ships In The World
After beating out the CSCL Globe container ship earlier this year, the MSC Oscartook the title of largest container ship. She’s so big, there may not even be a port large enough on the United States that she can dock to. Did I mention she can hold something like 39,000 cars? That’s kind of huge

2) Oasis Of The Seas

The Ten Biggest Ships In The World
Though she’s not much of a war fighter or hauler of goods, the Oasis Of The Seas can hold about 6000 vacationing passengers. I’m not much of an ocean-liner guy myself, but if I had to choose a ship to be trapped on for about a week, surely I would choose the one that has seven “neighborhoods” within itself.

6.) Azzam

The Ten Biggest Ships In The World
A floating mansion. A 590 foot, floating mansion, and the longest yacht in the world. How easy must it be to get lost in this thing? Oddly enough, it’s unusually shallow underneath the waves, with a draft of just a little over 14 feet.

7.) International Space Station

The Ten Biggest Ships In The World
Though the International Space Station is technically a station and not a ship, she’s still large and in charge and in space. And besides, we’ll count it as a spaceship. The ISS serves as a vital space research facility for scientific research regarding the physics and biology of space, and it’s got almost a million pounds of mass

8.) Dockwise Vanguard

The Ten Biggest Ships In The World
As a semi-submersible ship, the Vanguard is able to sink herself below sea level. This allows for the ability to transport large ships, oil rigs, or whatever else. Because of her ability to carry other ships, the Vanguard can also act as a dry dock allowing for major repairs to be completed to other ships while at sea. With something else on top, it can get huge, as DMCVegas explains:

9.) Shell Prelude

The Ten Biggest Ships In The World
The Prelude is massive in not only size and displacement, but also in uses and capabilities. The Prelude was developed as a natural gas collecting rig and a natural gas liquefaction facility. This meant that for the first time ever, natural gas could be collected and basically refined, at sea. Natural gas collected from sea is generally piped directly to land to be liquefied and refined, but thePrelude allows for this whole step to be bypassed.

10.) USS Theodore Roosevelt 

The Ten Biggest Ships In The World
A nuclear-powered United States Navy Nimitz-class aircraft carrier with the ability to carry nearly ninety assorted aircraft. This ship might not be a destroyer, but she sure as hell has the power to fuck shit up. Coming in at more than 100,000 tons of displacement at full load, the Theodore Roosevelt is one of, if not the biggest military ship in the world.
