    When you mentioned that it wasn't as simple as turning a key, I was hoping you'd say that it takes "2 keys" like one of those really secure lock boxes. =D
    In any case, thanks for the cool video and showing a side of how we acquire a bunch of the goods we enjoy every day. It's amazing how much of a regimented and procedure-driven environment seafaring and aviation are. Ultra high-stakes if you get it wrong.
    Cheers, Chief!

    Super detailed and informative! It doesn't take for granted that the viewer knows anything about ships, and covers each step. Thank you for teaching me. I didn't realize that 2 cycle ships used engines, not transmissions, to reverse. But I guess without camshafts it doesn't matter.

    I am a former merchant marine as an engineer and have worked in different ships such as Cargo vessels, bulk carrier, Ro/Ro, and super oil tankers (300.000 DWT.) for total 13 years. traveled all around the world. they were the best years of my life. I am 65 yrs old now. I have missed sailing over the oceans and the storms!. if I was born again I would be working once more at sea at least half of my life. my second profession is video production in the USA. this is how I make my living these days. therefore. I have to say that you have done a great job producing this video. I like it very much. great shots and good editing!. thank you, my friend. take care!.

  • @martinwalker9386
    @martinwalker9386 3 роки тому

    The different ships, because of the different engineering plants, can take up to 8 hours to get the engines ready. Steam plants need time to warm the firebricks in the boiler so that the bricks don’t crack. For ships like navy destroyers with boilers, in a “Pearl Harbor” scenario the ship can get underway in minutes by sacrificing 1 or 2 boilers while ships with gas turbines can get underway quicker with little to no damage.
    In 1986 my ship was in Subic Bay and at morning quarters we were told to be prepared to get underway in eight hours. At this point one of our four gas turbine engines was out of the ship. An hour later we were told to be prepared to get underway in four hours. At two hours after morning quarters we were told to be prepared to get underway in two hours. At three hours after quarters we were underway and the engine had been put in the ship far enough that we could bring it online in a day or so.
    The scramble to get underway was brought about by President Marcos fleeing the country and my ship was to assist if he fled by helicopter or small boat.
    In 14 years at sea in the navy, I served on six classes of ships and have gone dead-in-the -water at least twice with engine failure. Once, just off the coast of California and once, just West of the International Dateline.

    The engine turning gear used to be called barring gear. It got the name because the couplings on steam turbines had slots so the shaft could literally be barred manually if the batting motor failed.
    Steam turbines can be scrapped if not kept turning as they cool or while they are being preheated first use.

    That answered some questions I had. Still would like to know more details on actual starting of the engine. I understand there are differences but a typical scenario. You must get the engine turning a certain RPM then introduce fuel? Is the compressed air injected via the normal intake valves or is it separate? Etc.
