I mean you bring a point up, but maybe instead have the power steering system completely isolated from the rest of the ship with an option to switch it to main power if it goes down instead of the other way around.



Makes sense. Like I said, I have no idea how it works. Just seems odd that a backup generator or battery wouldn't have kicked in to allow some control.

Just found this on google.

If the ship lost all power, including backup systems, it would likely lose control due to the inability to steer or maintain propulsion. However, most ships are designed with redundant systems to prevent such total failures. For example, they may have emergency generators, battery backups, or even manual steering mechanisms to maintain control in case of power loss.

I'd love to see a manual steering mechanism for a ship that size.

Working the helm on a sailing vessel was hard enough. A massive container ship? Who's on the wheel, Hercules?
