What happens when you forget to wind the helm off after rounding the Cape.

What does that mean? Non-gayboy sailor terms please.

I was being slightly facetious; I was told it happened due to a navigation error. Anyway, I'm an engineer, who knows what those crazy deckies get up to; I have no knowledge of whether it occurred because the officer on watch was playing hide the sausage or not.

Pretty picture not involving unpleasantness; this is a bulk carrier, which carries stuff like coal, iron ore, grain, etc.

Thats got to be making the ships a bit top heavy .... (i.e. liable to turn the bottom into the top .... )

Alarmingly rusty Russian subs; pics are mostly ten years old.

I think we've had this difference of opinion before But on the question of steam cats, that is so last century, even the US are looking at electomagnetic cats.

Yes, but who's EM cats are they looking at? <cue British anthem>

And that bloody 'ski jump'. Get some proper cats on it! We can have something more than a large, glorified helicopter carrier then.

Quite an ironic statement really - given that the UK leads in world in air-craft carrier catapult developments... With the certain countries currently rather interested to 'borrow' the UK's work in this area...

Funny thing. I thought to myself. 'Should I check if this is a repost?'. I couldn't be bothered.

So, in a desperate effort to redeem myself, howzabout this?
