Given the size of the behemoth-in-progress and the fact that such vessels do
not "whoosh" in real life, I think the aim should be to "sail majestically"
with it.
To that end, avoid any fiddly bits that will easily knock off, add largish
wheels, run a long piece of string through the hull at the bow, and then tie
the ends together.
Now you can walk your behemoth up and down the house and then, if the urge
takes you, out onto the footpath and up to the local shopping centre (say).
If you can find a decent puddle or a shallow swimming pool, you could sail
majestically through it (great photo opportunity!). Actually, with all those
yellow dinghie thingies you are collecting, how good a match are they for
scale relative to the behemoth? If so, you could deploy some around the ship
in the puddle on a search and rescue mission for a downed pilot.

| A minifig CVE - who'd have believed it! And she's beautiful, if I do say so myself. And and if you're one of these people who can't look at an aircraft carrier and see the beauty, you're missing out. She's 209 studs from bow to stern, 32 studs wide (...)

Armed with my trusty stanley knife, I (heretically - don't tell anyone) trim the baseplate to suit the model - so the model isn't so much fixed to the baseplate, as the baseplate to the model :-) (...)
