Instead what we should pay attention on is how Gargantia the fleet is presented and how the citizens spend their life on it.
Adding on to your list of what we saw, we also saw that the fleet consists of independent vessels who have entered into contractual agreements and that the fleet is growing. We shouldn't forget the scene where Ridgett welcomes a new vessel to the fleet after signing the contract with the ship's representative. I'm sure we're intended to add that to our understanding of how the fleet operates if nothing else.
