Right? Big boats aren't even that big a brag, someone will always have a bigger one, and if yours is longest for now, then theirs has three helipads, and next year some tryhard will build a longer one anyway.

I am reasonably sure trying to commission building one would bring the attention of the United States and ah, the situation would develop not necessarily to your advantage...
