Are you a seasoned sailor? do you have a commercial captains license?

Actually every sailor doesn't know that. Im a sailor and believe me, dropping anchor is NOT the first thing you do. It doesnt even make a top 7 things to do in a loss of power casualty..

How about,

Alerting the crew, ,

3 emergency blows to warn other ships to get out of the way,

send a mayday,

get control of the rudder by any and all means necessary,

clear the deck,

order emergency power cut to everything except steering,

order all shutdown safeties on the engines bypassed and get them started.

BTW, a silent Prayer was #1

the ship was 95,000 tons, at 8 knots they could have just as well jettisoned the anchor- it wouldnt stop that ship at 8 knots anyway.

Yes.

No.

But I do have the ability to listen to the people that do this everyday.

I assumed it was sarcasm. Apparently not...

WOULD ALL OF THAT WORK IF THERE WAS A CYBER ATTACK THAT RENDERED EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL USELESS???
