A USCG inspector on my ship told me "Regulations are written in blood and oil" during my COI last year. I think you are very much correct about this.

It's Thanksgiving in the US, and I'm thankful for the Marine Engineers out there. Not only do they keep the ships moving, they also keep the lights on, the AC or heat pumping, and the water flowing. Cheers to all the Engineers!

My family was high class, my dad installed a water fountain to the outside hose spigot. So we had room temperature tap water without the rubber taste.

Command at sea: It's hard to explain. It's simultaneously empowering, daunting, and lonely. Everyone looks to you in times of trouble, and help is at best hours, but usually days away. Your decisions are the nexus where lives, the environment, and property hang in the balance.

It's Christmas Eve here, and Christmas Day elsewhere; and my thoughts are drawn to all of the sailors and mariners who are on ships at sea today, away from friends and loved ones. So here's to you those at sea, thank you for crewing the ships; fair winds and following seas!

I'm not a navy guy, but I know merchant ship scantlings, and this will not have much chance of survival against a variety of US kinetic assets.
Iran's IRGC published a video today of launching a ballistic missile from their forward base Shahid Mahdavi (converted container ship).

What struck me about the footage is none of them look at all injured or traumatized. Abandoning ship in those circumstances is going to give you contusions and other injuries, let alone the look you would get having gone through something like that.

These tuners are used with channelized radio systems so each memory channel has a tuner setting so there is rapid recall for tuning. They are used with ALE systems.
Inside the tuner are toroid coils and caps switched in and out by relays. Think remote auto tuner.

Same strategy as abortion limits. No outright ban right away, just keep adding restrictions until it's a de facto ban. Specific gun restrictions include geographic limits, hardware limits like magazine sizes/gun types, increased licensing and registration, storage requirements.

Liability avoidance. Remember Exxon Valdez? That cost Exxon Corp $5B. Make the ship a company by itself, and then flag it in some random country with no effective government, and the only thing they can seize after an accident is a worthless ship.

Most ships now have power limiters due to the EEXI regulations, so are maxed out quite a bit down their burn curves. Those 24 knot ships are probably doing 18-20 now. ULCC e.g. Emma Maersk with 80MW engines max out at 250 MT/day.

It's a steam ship, so likely having a boiler issue. Black smoke indicates a host of possible issues from burners to forced draft fans to refractory.

Spud has a great reference book on signaling between ship and shore. It emphasized Canadian signaling, but also showed how ship-to-shore comms grew. I am glad he got his researched published before passing. 73 Spud!

Hi DAVE,
Spud passed away this evening. HE went to Emerg this morning, they did an x-ray his left lung was full of pneumonia and the bacteria was going through his body. He will be missed.

Risk assessment: likelihood of getting a 2nd missile is lower than fire going out of control. Both have high consequences. Verdict: fight the fire, but start zig zags.

Let's talk additional BMP's for the Red Sea ships. 1) go dark, turn off all AIS/Sat-C/DSC radios that can be polled 2) DC drills with emphasis on a compromised fire main 3) review damaged stability 4) sandbag your flying bridge 5) Razor wire on your open decks 1/

The demise of the former HSV-2 hit us pretty hard. The company I work for owned her, and I knew most of the people who crewed it when it was US flag. It demonstrated to me how a runabout with a missile can devastate an aluminum hull.
