> is the world's largest wind-powered vessel Nothing but CGI models. Surely a news agency as reputable as CNN can get the nomenclature right here? It will be the world's largest wind-powered vessel once built in 2024.

CNN has a reputation alright, but it's not for depth or accuracy.

    None. That's the sad reality of journalism in America.

That was your takeaway from the article? Nitpicking the grammar?

  That's not nitpicking the grammar. It changes the meaning of the sentence. And if that's the only sentence you read you'd have no way of knowing it's wrong.

Oceanbird probably is not a CGI only product. If you check the startup behind it started from KTH university then you and follow the related people in there you can see it is just not built but it is a product of so much simulations. I am not sure if it works out but the idea is more robust than one might assume initially.

There is a 7 meter scale model to verify the design. A lot less than "being the world's largest wind powered vessel right now", but also a lot more than "just CGI"
