Reading previously about a Company called Being or something similar this vessel looks like it could have been built by Boeing.’ On their B29 Production Line hopefully they would build better ships these days although the present troubles they are having makes me wonder if their new builds seem to come under “Experimental” as they did with the B29’s which never completed a full test programme and Signed Off due to the rush to get them into Service in the Far East
