Default Under Way, Not Making Way, Aground and Not Under Command, revisited
:



I think ya best stay talking about ur recreational yachts and leave
the big stuff to thoese who have actually been on one.

That's seems an overreaction to posting one small fact.

There are still a number of ships out there using steam.
The problems with direct drive diesels and starting, though not gone, are

Diesel electric is out there, especially for those using Azipod (different
than Z-drive)
There are many cargo ships using "variable pitch"
