enough lifeboats.
Obvious serious downsides (No pirate jokes)
1. Less bandwidth capacity - higher latency (forced to use sat. solution)
2. Very very non-green. Ships put out awful emissions. One running tons of electrical equipment is no better.
3. Curious to know if the sea's movements will affect disk latency - tests have been conducted that if you scream at a hard drive it can slightly affect their latency due to the sound waves.
4. International waters. Nuff said.
5. I'd be willing to say a ship crew - security, EXPENSIVE ship repairs and maintenance far outweigh the profitability.
