I read the book over Christmas, there's a cylindrical sea halfway down the length of the vessel and a large island in the sea with a "city" the crew named New York. I'd say that's what that is

Kinda looks like it but I'm guessing it's just an island as there were no battleships in the book.

Generation ship. Uses the spinning of the central cylinder to simulate gravity
