Oasis of the Seas - World's Biggest Cruise Ship

I tried to gather pictures from websites as much as possible, because this ship is the largest in
the world.

Oasis of the Seas Cutaway. The description of words is too tiny to read.

Compare to USS Nimitz Aircraft Carrier to Oasis of the Seas !

You can see the height of the Oasis of the Sea is taller than USS Nimitz that means less stiff material can be used to build the Oasis of the Seas due to the upper space can create more bending moment.

Can the country which built the Oasis of the Seas have the ability to build the Aircraft Carrier ?

I don't think so, the steel material (such as : HY-100) is closely-guarded secret in the international market.
