WHOLE WEEK to fire up the engines on a ship that uses heavy fuel oil!
Fist you get the pony generator up, then you get the main generator up
when the pony is warm enough, then you get the steam fired up that
flows down the pipes and heats the heavy fuel oil. Finally, after about



a week, the oil is thin enough to run through the pipes to get to the
cylinders".

"do you even know what fuel oil is?When is the last time you worked
on a ship? Anyone here that has will be laughing at you about now!
You're so stupid you don't even know you're stupid."

Yes I am a retired engineer, that makes me stupid moron. my response:


Nearly all navy surface combat ships use General Electric LM2500 gas
turbine engines for main propulsion and the VAST majority of naval
ships use similar gas turnbine engines The LM2 500 is based upon the
CF6-6 engine (commercial version used on DC-10 aircraft) and the TF-39
engine (military version used on C-5 aircraft). Both the CF6-6 and
TF-39 engines were developed in the 1960's. They dont run on coffee
pot goop and they don't have pistons.
What did you think Bush was going to send a world war two liberty
ship? Hey what do I know, according to you I don't know what a putz is.
You putz.
