I wonder how that happened? too hard with the side thrusters?

Musta been some slam from the high winds to kill three people. I was amazed
at the steering capabilities on our ship on a recent cruise. I believe they
will turn 360 in their own length.

took a tour of the USS arleigh burke a few years ago...aegis guided
missle cruiser. from full speek of over 30 kts it can stop in its own
length...

that's some brake!
