Has anyone seen the recent issue of mer. Theres an interview with Carnival uks technical expert whre he chats about propulsion systems, redundancy. Says therecent power outages only affect the older carnival ships.

hahahaha, the ship was launched in 1961, power management meant a leckie on watch.
The blackouts were generally due to steam problems rather than electrical ones, in fact, quite a few were due to alcohol problems, I remember one particularly spectacular one which was due to a drunken 4th engineer forgetting to change over fuel oil settling tanks and then being too pissed to be able to get suction back on the fuel pump before we ran out of steam.Go out, do stuff

?Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn?t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.?
