One bad wire caused the entire ship to lose power? That boggles the mind.
Same thing happens when a ship lost coffee.
Quite.
“One bad wire caused the entire ship to lose power? That boggles the mind.”
Nope.
We are supposed to believe that there is no backup. One wire took out every system, manual and backup to steer this ship, not plausible
It absolutely does not. 22 years Navy. It really can and does happen.
Suppose that one wire provided power to a controller, motor, or helm-to-rudder communications. Rudders are too big and require too much force to be positioned by muscle power..
Read the article. It was a cascading failure. I’ve seen it multiple times.
“One bad wire caused the entire ship to lose power? That boggles the mind.”
Why? One bad wire in a city or a brown out and the parts of the whole city goes down. Ship X 10 = all kinds of problems. Happens on the west coast daily.
