(also referred to as the QM2) is a British transatlantic ocean liner. She has served as the flagship of Cunard Line since succeeding Queen Elizabeth 2 in 2004.
The ship was officially named Queen Mary 2 by Queen Elizabeth II in 2004 after the first RMS Queen Mary of 1936. Queen Mary had in turn been named after Mary of Teck, consort of King George V. With the retirement of Queen Elizabeth 2 in 2008, QM2 is the only transatlantic ocean liner in regular service between Southampton, England, and New York City, United States. The ship is also used for cruising, including an annual world cruise.
She was designed by a team of British naval architects led by Stephen Payne and was constructed in France by Chantiers de l'Atlantique. In 2004, QM2 was the longest, at 1,131.99 ft (345.03 m), and largest, with a gross tonnage of 148,528 GT, passenger ship ever built. She remains the largest ocean liner ever built.
QM2 was intended for regularly scheduled crossings of the Atlantic Ocean. The cost was increased by the high quality of materials; having been designed as an ocean liner, 40% more steel was used than for a cruise ship. She has a maximum speed of just over 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph) and a cruising speed of 26 knots (48 km/h; 30 mph), which is faster than a cruise ship. QM2 uses integrated electric propulsion to achieve her top speed. Diesel engines, augmented by gas turbines, are used to generate electricity for motors for propulsion and for onboard use.

A woman, usually a white girl (but can be any woman) who has that look, you know that look... that facial look and makeup where you can tell she only chases dark meat

The monarch of all memes, dank, or not. The current meme queen's role is to command and advise all memes. All of her subjects, (memes.), are to abide with any law she may apply, and clarify with full verification that it is an official law, and that every meme must comply with her wishes.
Certain, "local queens" such as the Ugandan Tribe's queen, is also under this ruling. But she may also grant the permission to be exempt from any law of her choosing. The queen is also exempt from all laws, but if she wishes to be affected by certain rules, the wish will be permitted by the meme council. The meme queen has infinite power over all of her subjects, therefore, removing the act of revolutions against the current queen. Though, the queen can also be dethroned by future competitors for the crown. But both must show their meme-ness, and overall dankness. If one is able to out meme the other, she will be crowned as the new meme queen, though, if the previous meme queen were to win, it will still be the same.
