The volume \( V \) of a cube can be calculated using the formula:

\[
V = s^3
\]

where \( s \) is the side length of the cube.

In this case, the side length \( s \) is 18.8 m, so we can calculate the volume as follows:

\[
V = (18.8)^3
\]

Calculating \( 18.8 \times 18.8 \times 18.8 \):

\[
V = 18.8 \times 18.8 = 353.44 \quad \text{(first multiplication)}
\]

\[
V = 353.44 \times 18.8 \approx 6635.552 \quad \text{(second multiplication)}
\]

Now, rounding \( 6635.552 \) to the nearest tenth:

\[
V \approx 6635.6 \, \text{m}^3
\]

Therefore, the volume of the cube is \( \boxed{6635.6} \, \text{m}^3 \).
