Claim 0:
1. An energy storage ship for transporting thermal energy from a first location to a second location comprising;
a hull supporting a series of graphite high energy thermal storage modules distributed along a length and width of and in a lower region of said hull to occupy a majority of the cargo carrying capacity of said ship;
said ship including a thermal energy conversion system powered by said graphite high energy thermal storage modules;
said thermal energy conversion system converting on said ship between thermal energy and electrical energy;
and wherein the thermal energy conversion system further comprises an input connection for selectively coupling to a first energy grid at a first location;
said first energy gird having an excess of electrical energy received by said thermal energy conversion system through said input connection; said thermal energy conversion system coverts said excess electrical energy to thermal energy for storage in said series of graphite high energy thermal storage modules; and
said graphite high energy thermal storage modules cooperating with said thermal energy conversion system to convert said thermal energy back to electrical energy to be offloaded from said ship at a second location through an output connection for coupling to a second energy grid.
