In nautical parlance, what does it mean "to get pooped"..?

Ralphy · « **Reply #5904 on:** February 12, 2010, 17:40:32 »

is it when a ship is swamped by a wave?

saltydog · « **Reply #5905 on:** February 12, 2010, 17:44:11 »

Close, but where..?

Ralphy · « **Reply #5906 on:** February 12, 2010, 17:50:54 »

The Red Osprey has recently finished her new paint job and is now in the same livery of her sisters.

Why has she only just got the original livery?

saltydog · « **Reply #5909 on:** February 12, 2010, 18:18:42 »

The question is puzzling..

Traddles · « **Reply #5910 on:** February 12, 2010, 18:25:28 »

That is why.

Oh, and BTW HMS Curacao was rammed and sunk by the Queen Mary when she was foolishly steaming too close across QMs bow during WW2. Not too clever.

saltydog · « **Reply #5911 on:** February 12, 2010, 18:29:57 »

Ah..the old Ikea ploy...I dare say you could be right Traddles..

Traddles · « **Reply #5912 on:** February 12, 2010, 18:37:54 »

Assuming I am correct

, what ship is this one?

saltydog · « **Reply #5913 on:** February 12, 2010, 18:44:28 »

the HMS Charger..

Traddles · « **Reply #5914 on:** February 12, 2010, 19:41:34 »

Very good, and fast too.

I should have hidden her number.

Ralphy · « **Reply #5915 on:** February 12, 2010, 23:48:30 »

O/T message for Marc...

Hi Marc, I too saw the programme about the gyros in those Italian ships. There is a good internet page somewhere about them- but I am damned if I can find it.

Officially they were de-commissioned due to being in-efficient, but there have been stories that the bearings collapsed sending some of the gyros off their mounts and smashing to bits anything that got in their way... True or false, I wonder. $:-\$
