I wonder what kind of power plant they will use. Steam Turbine? Reciprocating triple expansion steam, or modern diesels.

If my memory is working, the original builders working plans were lost when the shipyard Harland & Wolff got bombed during WW-2. They have plenty of information but I think that while cosmetically the ship will look the same, the rest of the design will be very modern indeed. Hope so anyway.

Passengers will even be divided into three classes, and will be kept from mingling with those outside their station.
