Thye only information that piece of manure can bring back is "Don't F around with American ships." The only thing he saw or heard was three...
They put that one on a support boat for the North Sea but it seems to be the only one in existence and Brunvoll doesn't even acknowledge the...
Oh, he is a middle-aged Somalian ... old enough to be a "pirate leader," old enough to threaten people with an AK, old enough to contemplate the...
Unfortunately if he is tried and sent to a US prison it will be a federal prison where he will be protected and well cared for. He will have...
Well, such a bright young man would probably have tied the flange to some part of his body so as not to lose it while swimming home to the local...
Three down, one to waste a few million $ on, and how many to go? It's a good start anyway. Glad to see someone took the initiative and ended that...
Realistically? Watch the boat, keep it targeted and vaporize it the first chance they get if there is the slightest chance to save the captain. If...
I would like very much to hear an explanation of why, when the Captain had the courage to jump off that lifeboat and give the Navy a clear shot,...
There must be no "give up" they must know that piracy carries fatal consequences. No quarter given, no surrender accepted. They should be...
This particular incident gives me the creeps as it comes a bit too close to home. My "Chief Mate" just got off another Maersk ship on that same...

Especially when a tug with azimuthing stern drives (ASD) costs about half what an equivalent tug with epicycloidal drive costs and delivers...
Are you certain those boats use a Voith drive? :)
He isn't going to answer that, or any other question. He keeps bringing up lead-acid batteries as if someone here is promoting them and then calls...
Waste energy but not power ... now that's an interesting take on the subject. If you can't convert that energy to power it is wasted, it came from...
It doesn't change the fact that it still takes more power to recharge than you discharge. Fast discharge and recharge aren't much value to a boat...
They make the tools, ask them. And ask the guy who made up the original fitting why it failed.
They make a swaging tool and gauge that allows you to set the ferrule without damaging the fitting by overtightening, misalignment, or setting the...
I forgot to add that the half-fast original assembly didn't swage the ferrule to the tube, it just work hardened the tube so that the half-fast...
I think the guy is making a joke ... from what we have read though, maybe not. In any event, if a swagelok blew off it is because it was not...
