It’s proportional, so the bigger the boat the more weight they can carry. Those aircraft carriers are ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE and the buoyancy grows accordingly. Also having a large volume displacing water maters. Use the same weight but as a pole and the pole would sink, the amount of water displaced is more than the weight of the ship. So the force of the water pushes the boat “up”.
