Message: [QUOTE="instinct, post: 4018559, member: 33318"] should have read still not till. Sorry on my part. The point im making is that if water is able to reach a part of the system due to battle damage and damage control efforts then it could be disastrous, you cant reset the breakers as the short is still happening. There are lots of things in place to stop it happening and incase it does but its new and unproven. Plus the system is a little bit more complicated involving computerised control systems to control the high current and break it down to lower voltages. The wattage produced by the diesels are very small compared to the 20MW each produced by the WR21's. 4 versus 40, plus all the system/hotel loads means your not very fast. Fine for in harbour moving berth i guess but not at sea ala 23 which has diesels providing twice the wattage at about 1/2 the tonnage. [/QUOTE]
