A 50 year old ship? They'll let Israel sink it to blame Iran.

The land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy.

Even when a ship is anchored (or even docked) the engines are usually still running to generate power (unless there is shore power, which is becoming more common, but still not that common). The extra power needed for the autopilot to use the pods and thrusters to stay in place isn't much more than is needed to keep the power on.

Atmosphere is amazing. Slug is a great rapper.

Bow thrusters and azipods have changed the game. Most modern ships don't really need anchors.

There is no reason ships should be anchoring at all. They can all use GPS these days to stay in place, without dropping anchors.

Marlaina Smith is a traitor to Canada, and should be put in prison.
