Hold off on that. We have a sub driver around here somewhere.



I was a navy nuke and qualified throttleman on a Los Angeles class sub. I’ve definitely answered a flank bell.

So technically I’ve “hit the gas pedal” on 35,000 SHP

What's the typical horsepower of an onshore tugboat?


Inland tugs you see in the intercoastal pushing 1 or 2 barges?

Typically about 800-2200.

Yeah, but I don't recall anyone claiming to be a destroyer driver here. I know we have at least one guy who claims his avatar is from his days in the Navy and is his attack sub performing an emergency blow with him at the helm.
