Editorial standards and corrections
Our use of sources, automation and AI assistance, and who is responsible for corrections.
Updated .
Responsibility and assistance
Alykhan Virani at Simba Systems is the publisher. AI-assisted drafting and software generation are used alongside automated data imports and calculations. They do not replace a source or establish expert review. We do not claim that a qualified naval architect has approved this site.
Evidence before certainty
Profiles identify their specification sources. Much of the initial catalog comes from published fleet lists; selected detailed stories add builder, operator, museum or technical references. A source-review date is not a fresh operational survey. Historical and current data are distinguished. Unknown measurements and unverified AIS identities remain unassigned.
Original work and third-party material
Explanatory diagrams, educational models, comparisons and cross-linked histories provide the site’s own context. Third-party photographs are credited separately. Embedded videos remain the publisher’s content, not our own reporting. We do not present every source-linked profile as independent research.
Corrections and updates
Send the URL, disputed statement and supporting evidence to largestshipintheworld@simbasystems.com. The publisher checks the evidence, corrects the relevant record or explanation and updates a review date only when that content has been reviewed. Material corrections will be noted on the affected page. We cannot promise a fixed response time.
Indexing and advertising
Profiles without a researched story and short supporting reference pages remain available for browsing but are excluded from search indexing and the sitemap until their editorial value improves. Advertising is disabled pending account and consent setup. Neither a sponsor nor an automated system certifies the vessel’s safety or present location.
