There are quite often ships tied up next to HMS Belfast, this is one of the best I have seen for a while.

She looks awfully top-heavy. I shouldn't like to be onboard in a heavy sea

I suppose the analogy in the newest generation of fighter jets is that without all the computing power used to control the aircraft the pilot would not be able 'control' it.That is often my thoughts looking modern cruise liners.
All rely too much on forward motion and stabilsers + technology.
Of course we have not see any incidences where power fails and technology fails have we ?

Without the electronics, many of them would not even fly!I suppose the analogy in the newest generation of fighter jets is that without all the computing power used to control the aircraft the pilot would not be able 'control' it.
Sadly, even at the most simple level of failure e.g. that cargo ship leaving Baltimore port...its complete loss of engine power triggered its drift into the bridge.Without the electronics, many of them would not even fly!
Rather the same as models, when I started flying RC, anyone rich enough and brave enough to fly helicopters had to be able to fly one.
Now you just have to decide what direction you want it to fly in, for lass than £10 you can get a drone with a camera that behaves the same way.
And cars that matter. But if the ECU on a car goes wrong, it just stops Obviously ships don't share that characteristic, which sort of makes analogies with other things not very good, quite a difference really
