I always figured we'd take a beating if it came to ASW until our subs and air wiped the seas clean of enemy subs. Until then it was going to be very hard on ships.HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-71025761277340223292015-08-20T15:17:54.511-04:002015-08-20T15:17:54.511-04:00You and I share the same mantra.

I sometimes had to fight the power in order from doing something really stupid with perfectly functioning machinery that trend analysis showed was in perfect tune/sync and if it failed for lack of maintenance in 5000 hours, it would THEN get the deferred maintenance it didn't need even though the preventative maintenance system called for a full tear down and class B overhaul. 6000 miles from anywhere is not the time to mess with good gear.HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-20354610741672067822015-08-20T08:52:13.664-04:002015-08-20T08:52:13.664-04:00Didja have to show one of my old ships (and a pret...Didja have to show one of my old ships (and a pretty good one, too) in her death throes?Captain Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297301009511642108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-50671966171365950282015-08-19T10:45:13.068-04:002015-08-19T10:45:13.068-04:00I am ever reluctant to tinker with things.

I'm a big believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" or "if it's just a little bit broke, ignore it, maybe it will go away."<br /><br />Messing with SQL?
