Ok? You can't really call it the largest airship when it was never built.

I propose a new airship design called Cargohauler, it's basically a Cargolifter but scaled up 2x. Your puny Cargolifter is nothing in comparison to my Cargohauler

This just in, I am proposing a new design called the JumboPumper. It is like your puny Cargohauler, but 4x as large!

I just stated that there was a more ambitious project that would have worked, but unfortunately ran out of money. I am impressed that Pathfinder 1 was actually built.

One-upping is aggressive. The better way to say it would be: "there was a more ambitious project that would have worked, but unfortunately ran out of money".

OK. I didn't intend to sound aggressive.
