Brilliant work...!
The info screens with actual deck status caught me completely by surprise.
Nice job staying ahead of the curve...:encouragement:
 
Probably works better than the real thing and doesn't leak either.


Looking under the hull of most virtual ships there's a helluva lot more water sloshing around the empty hull than Lizzie!

:untroubled:

I love the UK press - 'new warship leak shock horror!'....I've yet to come across any ship which doesn't suffer a propeller shaft seal leak from time to time. It's not the easiest to seal and maintain a turning steel shaft that exits the hull directly into the ocean.

200 litres and hour? My garden pond pump can handle more than that!!

:biggrin-new:

I agree with you completely.

In most vessels leakage around the stern gland is part of the shaft cooling system.there are not many dry glands.

I believe the Queen Elizabeth has a pneumatic gland shaft seal.

Cheers Chris
PS As far as the medias knowledge of ships the most annoying thing to me is the use of their expression the HMS Whatever.

HMS stands for her majesty's ship so you cannot say "The her majesty's ship ----

Lemme guess..... Daily Mail? The great spreader of misinformation, negativity and downright lies.
 
There's a reason it's now known as the Daily Fail!

It used to be a respectable newspaper 25+ years ago and I was a regular reader of it's Sunday edition (The Mail on Sunday) when I still lived in the UK, mostly for the usually informative colour supplement and the comics section.

It has gone drastically down-hill over the years and now resides firmly among the 'gutter press'.
 
still testing the model

Looking good! Minor nit pick, flyco and the bridge would have dim red lighting at night rather than white. Think dim enough to walk into things until you'd been there for five minutes or so...

Heck, I don't need dim, red, lighting for that. I walk into things in broad daylight. Or even narrow daylight. :biggrin-new:

To be honest I was surprised when I opened the video, I expected to see something more like this.
