If you conjured a lot of water, enough that it matters where the volume is,
you're in trouble. Not only do you lose air, you'll lose all your air. Your
atmosphere would be bleeding away into the void, not your water. You'd wind
up with a "water envelope" around the ship, about 1/2 or smaller fraction of
the original air. If your crew can't breathe water, it's a VERY bad way to
transport it. If they can, you'd better not be planning on using it for
fish, because the crew will bleed oxygen out of it at the rate they use air.
Stick to barrels, please.
