Don’t be so sure of that, the West point used to graduate mostly engineering students now they graduate students who major in the Humanities and other useless courses.

I still do not understand why the ship turned into the bridge when it was drifting past.
Not a mariner, but I’ve paid attention to mariners who have tried to explain what happened. The ship lost power and was drifting. There was wind to the ship’s starboard side. The wall of containers acted as a sail pushing the ship into the bridge.

If we can re-educate the under water basket weavers so they can become under water welders, we will be OK.

That bride was like two seesaws. When one crash it flipped the other up and it crashed too. This design makes the bridge more light weight and costs less. There is one problem: risk of catastrophic failure.

Even dropping anchor requires power.No, no power needed to DROP the anchor. Pulling it back in does require power.

Hmm....getting conflicting information.

The MV Dali DID drop anchor. Didn’t slow it down much.

Is it true that the Dali had 4 anchors?
To: Churchillspirit
Looks like the dropped only the port anchor in an attempt to swing the bow to port.

Only personal experience I have of large ships is The Queen Mary. (30+ years).
Among the many statistics about this great lady was the fact that on approaching port, she cut her engines 30 miles out!
