“ The generators and steering the pod drives were the issue. More computer controlled issues.”
I seem to remember that the issue was the maintenance protocol for the engines. The protocol called for maintaining the engine oil at a certain level between “full” and “add”. Well, in heavy seas, the oil level sensors thought that the oil was low and shut the engines down to protect them. The company subsequently changed the protocol to keep them fuller, so the rocking of the boat wouldn’t trip the sensor and cause shutdown.
Yes. And with no power they don’t have means to steer.
I think the crew themselves figured how to get the generators running again. (limited amount) But they were steering a ziz zag course out of necessity. Power on, Power off. etc.
