see above...i have all the recent stuff but there was a lot that just sat there when i needed to reference it

It still closed . Hell, if the last thing in the closed order was a window as in a crash, it will open the entire window with every tab inside of it for one keystroke. The order will be the same and everything. Nothing is lost anymore. Repeat as necessary until you have everything back.

Truly amazing.


Not an endorsement but not sure calling the dude a piece o shit and then asking him to a hearing would do much either...

Looking forward though to all the upcoming house investigations while the country continues to shoot itself in the foot. The raising of the debt ceiling game of chicken will also be fun...

That's too hot. Over double my own maximum tolerable heat range.


That's some excellent redundancy design. Also says a lot about how far the tech came and how fast. Japanese boilers were eating themselves alive because they were forced to use lighter oils closer to fuel oil rather than bunker oil (also turned their ships into floating Molotov cocktails relative to US ships). Not long before that, top of the line was far lower pressure.

Was there any issue with mixing fuel oil and jet fuel or did the system in general not give a poo?
We had ac in the console and fresh air vents in the space we used to stand under to tolerate the heat. The mixing of the fuel didn't make any difference it all burned the same, the jp 5 was just a little cleaner and made no difference to the 1800 steaming hr. tear down to clean/ punch tubes, maintenance of the boilers.

How often did the tubes need cleaning? The water was pretty pure, yeah?

Did you need to adjust fuel flow rate to the burners at all with the jet fuel? Or it all just worked as usual?

every 1800 steaming hours the boilers were torn down to clean tubes and replace gaskets test safeties rebuild and test valves and gages. Also do a pressure/ leak down test afterword. Fuel flow was controlled by automatic combustion controls as were the forced draft blowers. Ours were general regulator, I don't remember the other brand, but the navy used two kinds we had general regulator on our ship.

So that would be something like 75 days of steaming. Would they be all done at once, or one at a time until finished?

How long did they take to cool?

usually one in each fireroom normal underway use is 2 boilers, one in each fireroom. On a 6 month cruise we had to do it once tied up to a tender in Italy. 24 hours to cool down and drain.

Do you keep the boiler water or does that get cycled out too? Could the ship distill its own? I assume that's a yes.

Here's a thing my phone suggested to me just now, it's probably of interest:
