I toured an antique battleship in Philadelphia in the 1960s. It had been the flagship of I forget which admiral.

The Admiral's cabin was very fancy and was finished in beautiful wood, but one side of it was occupied by a huge naval gun.

Huge is much better than tiny. I think they are antonyms. We are talking about the ride not the quarters.

Still, I think if I were President I would rather be going to the St. Kitts on a yacht, rather than to Okinawa on the USS Texas in WWII.

We were talking about "leisure travel". Little different.
