My bb crew feels like when go from full to all stop or just running the engines asturn full, they must be saying what the hell is the captain playing at lol
A fine film tribute to the men who manned the Rescue Tugs during both World Wars in truth very little footage of these men was taken as the London Government thought the sight of battered ships would be bad for morale but then the London Government never has had a good understanding of its own people.
Well, he did say he was going to get a feel for the old girl, didn't he? He's seeing how well the engine room crew responds to the EOT, and how fast the rudder can respond to the helm. If I remember this film right, this tug's used for recovering ships that are stranded way out to sea in the atlantic during WWII, where the threat of getting torpedoed was a very real one, so these maneuvers could be critical in an emergency.
Malcolm Arnold composed the score of this 1958 film only one year after 'The Bridge on the River Kwai,' and his style is clearly recognisable, for he kept copying himself. Anyone watching one of his films (including 'The Inn of the Sixth Happiness', 1958 as well) can soon exclaim: "That music is so familiar... Arnold's?" Mind you, this is not necessarily a critical remark on my part, I actually like him. 'Tunes of Glory', (1960) in particular.
It's really best to shut off steam first, but with a smaller engine it's less of a jolt than with the 4-story tall monsters in the Titanic, so you can get away with it. In this context it's what's called a "crash stop" so you need to reverse as quickly as possible.
@@ryantimm9748 Crash stops were possible on the Olympic Class liners but were only done in an absolute emergency since that’s a lot of wear on your engines and running gear. It also puts wear on the propellers since suddenly going from full ahead to full astern causes a lot of water cavitation around the props which translates to a lot of vibration. Olympic apparently performed a crash stop during the incident where she accidentally rammed and sank the Nantucket light ship. Titanic performed a crash stop test during her sea trials and I assume the other two Olympic Class liners did the same. It’s also worth noting that when Titanic was leaving Southampton, her wake broke the moorings of the liner SS New York. Captain Smith had the engines on Titanic quickly thrown into reverse to prevent the New York from being sucked into Titanic’s side, narrowly avoiding an early end to the voyage. I assume that would have been done as a crash stop type maneuver.
@@1987VCRProductions Olympic and Titanic had very good sea trials Titanic could actually stop with three of her lengths from full ahead to full astern I highly recommend looking at the inquiries for the loss of the Titanic But remember, steam ships are not like motor vessels you can’t just turn the knob or switch. These are these vessels are done by by crew members are working down below that require a steady hand. How should I know about this? I actually help out with someone that owns a steamboat and I know the power of those engines that were on all three Olympic class ships and I study those engines and boilers etc
Yes! It's disgraceful that it isn't taught in all of the history books, but from 1939 to 1941 many Americans volunteered to serve when the fate of Britain, and the cause of freedom hung in the balance. We could have never gotten on without them. The best mariners in the world. All fine chaps, and good stout fighting men, to the man. Wouldn't have been able to win the war without them, and the guidance and support they provided. All of Britain owes a great debt to the United States. One which we could sadly never repay....
0:47 the little crew inside my head starting my dumbass in the morning for school:
How to troll the engine room XD
We do a little trolling
just remember this is how your crew feels in world of war ships
I think my crew feels a lot worse at times...
Imagine our DD crews they must be nauseous
You have never seen me ramming into sampans with a submarine in the Pacific ocean
My CC crew when in the middle of 3 DDs:

This was one of my favourite videos as a kid... Always will have nostalgia for this

Though Shipwright has a good point, he's probably testing how quickly and precisely the crew responds to orders.
no , simply an idiot

he is the emergency
I feel bad for the Chief, he like ok enough already
Wow, looks like a fun movie.
HMT (his majesty's TUG) Restive.
The Key 1958
with William Holden and Sophia Loren!
0:50 I see the "Chadburn" logo on the telegraph! Sweeeet!

communicating with a speaking tube and a chadburn, great!
He had to do that, because the ship was already at full ahead when he wanted more steam.

"Full astern? I knew it, he's run her on to some rocks. I knew he was an amateur the moment I saw him"
-chief engineer
Full Astern Sir?
How can you reverse those engines so quick like that without bringing the steam pressure down first? (Like what we see in the Titanic film)

@@Shipwright1918 Wow okay, makes sense now. Thank you for replying and answering my question that I’ve had in the back of my head for ages now. :)

What happened to the ship
he did serve for some time and like rest,probably scrapped
Very funny scene. :-D
Если такие круги накручивать, можно олимпийский знак нарисовать на воде.
Sound General Quarters make it No Drill
The Officer Turns The Wheel Much FASTER Than The Quartermaster On The Titanicn lol
treat a chief engineer like that and the "deck ornament" captain would live to regret it
An American in the RNR?
Yes!

0:48 They shouldn't move together. They had to move separately, so you could have control to use either both engines or either.
Single screw ship.
a rotative engine sir ? no a rumba machine !
What is the name of this movie
The key
@@titanicproductions101 Sophia Loren
and William Holden!
nothing wrong with steam, ytl JOB will do same................almost
lol
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Titanic
looks nothing like titanic + i can see you know ships only because of titanic
Oil & Water never mix
