Even their profit is enough for 3 Nimitz class super carriers.

Then they can REALLY sink their competitions ;)

Their competition is Samsung. Something tells me the whole large ships argument is lost on Korean chaebols.

Especially when Samsung just built the world's largest: http://www.industrytap.com/worlds-largest-ship-ever-built-fi... :-)

Heh, funny that Apple would be forced to hire Samsung to build their carrier given where they are forced to source their processors.

wait - are they actually building aircraft carriers??

You heard it first on HN. Anyway the premise is wrong. An Apple carrier would be much more expensive than anyone else's carrier. And as you'll only be able to get it in white, silver or gold, you might have some camouflage problems.

It also probably wouldn't be waterproof, unless they fix it with a software update :P

You mean like Steve Jobs' yacht that was only finished shortly after he died? Cheaper than an aircraft carrier too at only 100 million (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_(yacht))
