Aquahound Posted December 24, 2016 #27 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Enough to maintain steerage, but not make headway; would that fall under NUC? Like chengkp75 said, no. An example of a ship NUC was the Carnival Triumph. Remember when she was disabled and drifting in the Gulf? That's NUC. For what's it's worth, the pecking order for right-of-way at sea is: 1. Being Overtaken 2. Not Under Command 3. Restricted Ability to Maneuver 4. Constrained by Draft 5. Fishing 6. Under Sail 7. Power Driven 8. Seaplanes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted December 24, 2016 #30 Share Posted December 24, 2016 What about the "rule of gross tonnage"? :D I think that's the difference between the rules of the seas and the rules of physics. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted December 24, 2016 #31 Share Posted December 24, 2016 What about the "rule of gross tonnage"? :D Well yeah...then there's that! :D Kinda reminds me of the Navy vs lighthouse spoof on You Tube. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F27TW Posted December 25, 2016 #32 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Nope you're all wrong. Its the Russian hackers again. Now that they got Trump elected for Putin, they're bored ... so they got into Majesty's computers and are sucking her backward across the Atlantic. That's my thought.
