Compact city ship

Abstract

To provide an exclusive large ship with a condominium (apartment) and all life-related facilities so that the crews on a ship can live at home with their family every day, can commute to work from home, and can return home from work after finishing a day work in order to improve the work-life balance of the soldiers serving in a navy's fleet.SOLUTION: A compact city ship mounts a government house lived by their family and all living convenience facilities on an exclusive cruise ship so that navy soldiers serving in a fleet can live every day at home with their family. The compact city ship anchors or sails in the sea area moderately far from the fleet. It is characterized that the function to realize normal lifestyle such as going to work in the morning and coming home in the evening is provided as the crews move by intercepting a working place (a ship) and home (a compact city ship) at a fixed time.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a compact city ship equipped with condominiums (apartments) and various lifestyle-related facilities that can create an urban living environment on the sea. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, a residence, which is the base of a person's life, is called fixed property or real estate because it is fixed on land and cannot be moved. A cruise ship is movable property because it leaves land and travels on the sea. The guest rooms on a cruise ship are "hotels" rather than "residences," and passengers are "staying" rather than "living." They are simply leaving the base of their lives temporarily to enjoy an extraordinary trip. At present (as of the first quarter of the 21st century), there are no cruise ships in service anywhere in the world, where the guest rooms are condominiums rather than hotels and the holders of the condominium ownership rights use them as the base of their lives. [Prior art documents] Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] This had the following drawbacks: Because naval personnel have the fateful obligation of serving in the fleet, they are generally sent to work alone and must live away from their families for long periods of time. Even as society as a whole has come to value work-life balance as times progress, naval personnel alone are forced to live in poor living conditions. As a result, talented personnel are shying away from the navy, and there are fears that the quality of the navy will decline. This is a problem shared by the military forces of countries around the world and is a major issue in terms of national defense. Family is the most important thing for humans, and living together in harmony brings happiness. Apart from families made up of couples who are tired of each other or teenagers who are going through a rebellious phase, it is tragic for newlywed couples and young couples raising small children to have to live apart for weeks or months, and for years on end. There are countless cases of couples who, despite being young and healthy, have become dissatisfied with the lack of marital life, leading to infidelity and divorce, or who have lost the opportunity to spend time with their children and are forgotten by them when they grow up. Information about the misfortunes of such separations spreads, and single fleet servicemen have few opportunities to find love. For an ordinary office worker, when the day's work is over, they are free from the interpersonal relationships at work, can go home to their families, and can relax and relieve stress. However, even when the day's work is over, naval personnel are not free from the interpersonal relationships at work and must share their meals and sleep with their colleagues and superiors. Living in a confined space on a ship, isolated from society, and with a complete lack of work-life balance, is not good for mental health. As a result of the accumulated environmental stress, it increases the risk of developing diseases caused by the autonomic nervous system. The present invention has been made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] No matter where Army and Air Force personnel are transferred, they can live with their families because there are government housing facilities near the base. If that's the case, then naval personnel could also load their official housing, including a city, onto a ship and anchor it within commuting distance of the fleet, allowing them to go to work in the morning and return home in the evening. While cruise ships are primarily equipped with hotels, restaurants, and entertainment facilities, compact city ships will not only have condominiums (apartments) for living, but will also be fully equipped with shopping malls, daycare centers, schools, hospitals, city hall, banks, sports facilities, entertainment facilities, and other conveniences that are similar to the living environment in urban areas. In addition, an internet environment will be established that enables "telework" through information communication via satellite, and all rooms will be equipped with internet terminals, allowing military families to continue their work while living in official accommodation on the ship. The present invention is a compact city ship having the above-mentioned configuration. Effect of the Invention

[0005] Traveling on a cruise ship has a public image of elegance and luxury, so living on a compact city ship of the same size, standard, specifications and quality as a cruise ship will also be a source of envy, increasing the navy's popularity and attracting talented personnel. A cruise ship would require high costs, but as a compact city ship is merely government housing, there is no cost involved. Not only do children receive the same education on board the ship as they would receive at a land-based school, but they also have the valuable experience of calling at ports around the world, allowing them to broaden their horizons and come into contact with different cultures during their formative years. With the advancement of information and communication technology, the working style of "telework" has become established, and having a home in a remote location no longer poses a hindrance to work. Just as working from a resort far away from the company, it is also possible to work at sea by using satellites. If teleworking is not possible, you will be an employee or business owner of an onboard facility. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a plan view of the present invention (an example of a moving method). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0007] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The purpose of this invention is to improve the work-life balance of Navy fleet personnel. It is a large ship equipped with condominiums for families to live in and all the living facilities so that the crew of the ship can live at home with their families, commute to work from home, and return home from work after the day's work is over. In peacetime, the compact city ship is anchored or sailing in an area of ​​sea that is a reasonable distance away from the naval ship, and twice a day, in the morning and evening, the naval ship and the compact city ship run side by side at a designated time, and the crew of the ship move around on a boarding bridge (connecting passage) extending from the compact city ship. If there are multiple ships, there will be a time lag. On the Daydim, the ship's crew will be engaged in regular duties, training, and exercises, while the families on the compact city ship will be free to telework, do housework, and have fun, depending on their own circumstances. Children will attend school. Nighttime will be a private time for the ship's crew and their families to spend together.

[0008] Unlike hotels, condominiums are everyday living spaces, so they are equipped with the necessary equipment. Although there are restaurants on board, people usually shop at the supermarket, put food in the refrigerator, and cook in the kitchen. They use a washing machine to do their laundry, a vacuum cleaner to clean, and make their own beds. Shopping is done at supermarkets, home improvement centers, various specialty stores, and convenience stores. Eating out is done at restaurants, various eateries, coffee shops, pubs, bars, izakayas, and franchised stores (for hamburgers, fried chicken, coffee, ice cream, donuts, etc.). Children range in age from 0 to 18, and are allocated to nursery schools, elementary schools, and high schools according to their age. Rather than calling them schools, it would be more appropriate to call them classrooms, given the number of students they can accommodate. Regular teachers for each grade teach a set curriculum, so students can receive an education equal to or better than that offered at ground-based schools. Cram schools are also available if necessary. University students are not included, as they generally leave their parents' home. The hospital will have a full complement of medical staff, including specialists in multiple medical fields, and is more appropriately described as a general clinic than a hospital. It will be equipped with emergency medical equipment, an intensive care unit, and an operating room. City halls, banks, post offices, etc. will be able to get by with just the space of a branch office. Police and fire stations will be limited to a small area. All procedures will be handled by online communication with base stations via satellite. Sports facilities will be multi-purpose. Amusement facilities (multi-purpose stages, theaters, game centers, etc.). Entertainment facilities (nightclubs, casinos, adult entertainment stores, etc.) General facilities (libraries, cultural centers, beauty salons, salons, etc.) will be set up in the same way as in normal urban areas. Churches are used for worship and funerals. They are divided into Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox churches. They are further divided into Islamic and Buddhist (temples). The rest of the churches are general-purpose spaces. Unlike cruise ships, compact city ships are bases for daily life, so they will have green parks, with soil, trees, lawns, and flower beds. They will also have small amusement parks, zoos, and botanical gardens.

[0009] Compact city ships basically sail alongside naval vessels, but when passing by tourist attractions around the world, they will separate from the fleet for a few days and make port calls to disembark. This is part of the welfare benefits for the crew members' families. However, they will have to pay for their own accommodation, transportation, food and drink, tips, shopping, entrance fees, and other expenses. Compact city ships can also be offered to civilians other than military families. In this case, a fee will be charged. They will be offered to the wealthy, with fairly high sales prices and maintenance fees set. The profits will be used to cover part of the ship's maintenance costs. Other maintenance costs will be covered by government funds, just like with naval vessels. Supplies of food, fuel, materials, etc. are delivered to transport ships at sea during daytime layby times and loaded onto them. EXAMPLES

[0010] The present invention has the same basic structure as existing cruise ships, and only requires partial changes to the layout, facilities, and equipment, so there are no issues related to shipbuilding technology. I travel between my ship (workplace) and my home (compact city ship) twice a day, in the morning when I go to work and in the evening when I return home after the day's work. I decide the location and time of interception in advance. The transfer must be safe, reliable, and swift. Ships vary in overall length, overall width, overall height, and total weight depending on the type, but the most important factor in transfer is the difference in deck height between the two ships. Transfers are made using an accordion-shaped boarding bridge that extends from the compact city ship and has a large range of movement up, down, left, and right. It is easier to move alongside an anchored ship than to pull alongside it. The Compact City Ship is equipped with cushion balloons near the bow and stern of each side of the ship to prevent contact, which are inflated when approaching. The couplers stored in the ship near the bow and stern are pushed out and temporarily fixed to the ship with hooks or magnets. Once the movement on the boarding bridge is complete, the couplers are unlocked and stored. If there are multiple ships, the same procedure is repeated with the next ship. This operation is easier than aerial refueling of a fighter jet and can be done even at cruising speed if the sea surface is stable, but it becomes more difficult when the sea surface is rough, so it is recommended that wave height restrictions be set. Note that this is just one example of a method of transportation; as time progresses, more effective and revolutionary methods of transportation will be developed, and we will adopt those. [Industrial Applicability]

[0011] Eventually, private, condominium-style compact city ships that are completely unrelated to the navy will be put into service. They will even house nursing homes. This will be in the 22nd century.
