More on Eclipse
Description from Wikipedia:
M/Y Eclipse is a luxury yacht currently under construction by Blohm & Voss in Hamburg, Germany. Thyssenkrupp is very close-mouthed about the project. No definitive statements about size or features have been made. The yacht is expected to be delivered to Roman Abramovich in 2009 and is rumoured to be about 508 ft-525 ft long. This would make Eclipse one of, or even the world's largest private yacht in existence.
When Eclipse is launched, Abramovich's private fleet will consist of four motoryachts; the Eclipse itself, Pelorus, Sussurro and Ecstasea. Previously owned "Le Grand Bleu" was presented to Abramovich's associate and friend Eugene Shvidler in June 2006.
Eclipse will have at least two helicopter pads, several hot tubs, one pool, three launch boats and a private submarine. For security, it will be fitted with motion sensors and a special missile-detection system.
