Massive Engine Failure (Russian/Indian Carrier)

On the Russian boat it was used to insulate the boilers, to keep the steam hot and the ship a bit cooler. Nuclear reactors have boilers, too. I have no idea how they insulated, though I did spend waste two weeks in the Newport News ship building facility. (Representing the sensors IPT. Long story.)

India is currently 4th, below USA, Russia, China. What are your proposals how India can improve that positioning?

I agree asbestos is great stuff.
When we had to take it out of gaskets and brake linings it was a bad deal both cost and performance wise.

I heard from an old brake engineer that it was only smokers who died from asbestosis, that the combination of smoking and asbestos fibers was a huge negative synergy.

“What are your proposals how India can improve that positioning?”

For starters, TRUST THE PEOPLE THAT BUILT THE BOAT. We may not like Putin because he puts his country first and throws gays in jail, but their engineers are among the best in the world, and if they say to keep asbestos in certain applications, then BELIEVE THEM.

How’s that?
