Not sure how big that is in relation to a aircraft carrier but I have heard it said boats that big don't even feel waves. It would take a hurricane to make a person on deck feel any motion at all.

Here is the size dimensions of the Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier if someone can interpete the strange notation the Navy uses for size. If that is feet then that cargo ship is bigger.


USS RONALD REAGAN (CVN-76)
Specifications
Class: NIMITZ

As built: Displacement: 77,600+ tons (98,235+ fl) — Dimensions: 1,040' wl (1,092' oa) x 134' (252' fd) x 37' / 317 wl (332.8 oa) x 40.8 (76.8 fd) x 11.3 meters
