    • And that’s why it’s meme stock, which the majority of people have no knowledge of. Comparisons to Google and Facebook when they went public(with billions of revenue when they went public) is laughable.  Until otherwise, the only comparisons are GameStop and AMC when they were artificially propped up.
    • The NTSB and USCG will almost certainly recomend that escort tugs be with ships until well clear of any hazzards. Also I bet the port inspections of forign ships will be increased as well. Depending on what specifically caused the dark ship situation, there will likely be some changes to the mechanical/electrical systems as well. Sadly many of these changes will seem to be obvious from the get go.
    • It sounds quite plausable to me. Pretty much all comercial vessels have multiple power sources and it makes sense that a ship that size would have 4 or 5. I was talking with my captain about just that this morning at watch handover. It'll  be interesting to see what caused this power outage. The only thing I would add to the Chief's assesment is when you go hard astern on on a single screw you will introduce signifigant yaw into the equation. Actually with a single screw there is always yaw whenever there is throttle input. This yaw is definitely pronounced enough to turn the vessel, as it appears it did. In my opinion, other than the rudder, this had the most impact on the vessel's heading. JMO though. Edit: if it had a variable pitch prop that yaw wouldnt be as bad and possibly even counter act the thruster. Too many unknown to say with any certainty yet.
