Or is this another site that knows less than you about the Titanic?

It conflicts with what I've read about the design parameters laid out
for the Olympic class ships and discussion between Bruce Ismay (do you
even know who he is without Google?) and Lord Pirrie. I suggest you look
further. An excellent start would be to ask the question directly on the
Encyclopedia Titanica engineering forum.

I don't think you will, because I don't think you're interested in the
answer. You seem to be more interested in Jaxlike posturing and posing.
Certainly, a person with training in naval architecture would be able to
figure out prop slip, and would probably know where to find a good
reference to condensate depression.

Now THAT'S posturing!

That is a bit unfair, Nav, prop slip is all over the board (+ or -)
depending on weather, load, currents and any number of things effecting
the hull ... even down to how good the helmsman is.

Rick, I didn't write that -Doug did.
