But you haven't seemed to grasp the fact that navy
ships and commercial ships do not "leave their engines running" while in
port.

but they do while "at anchor". check it out.

Once again .... NO THEY DON'T.

Now, so you understand .... IF it's a steam ship, after anchoring, they
will "spin" the turbines for a while and then put them on the "jacking"
gear to cool them, unless it's to be a short anchoring (in which case
they'll "spin" them to keep them warm). Naturally the boilers remain on
line since they are used for Hotel services.
Diesel electric: Depending on the setup, if the generators for the
engine are exclusive to the main propulsion, they will be secured.(same
with GT)
Straight GT: Shut down.
Direct drive diesel: (majority of larger ships) SHUT DOWN, PERIOD.

a.) they do, and

b.) it is not germaine to the discussion of safe anchoring of recreational
sailboats.

anchoring on all chain is done by weak old men unable to lift a 35# anchor.

LOL We could keep this "yes"/"no" up for months, but since I doubt
you've ever sailed on a ship, how's bout showing us where you got this
ridiculous idea that ships keep their engines running while at anchor.

b.) it is not germaine to the discussion of safe anchoring of recreational

On the contrary. The same things apply. The main difference is relative
size.

give it up, over the knee. every last post you make show you are uttterly
without understanding of this subject.

As per usual, Jax hasn't a clue.
He's posted not one useful or verifiable response or useful bit of
information on the subject at hand.
Let's see .... Jax... you don't know enough about navigation to pass a
basic Power Squadron test on said subject .... you don't know the Rules
of the Road..... You know nothing about anchoring a boat, ship, oilrig,
etc., and haven't a clue about "prop walk" or boat handling under
power.... i.e., you are a rank amateur of the lowest degree, but a troll
of the mediocre degree.
Do us all a favor and go back to sucking on your bottle of cheapo
rum.....either that, or try sobering up for a few days so that what few
brain cell you have left will realize you've embarrassed your stupid
ass, again, enough to realize it's time to go back into hiding for 6-7
months.
