Country_est Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Is that against the tide or at slack water cos with the tide she can move for free, just not under that much control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) Hmmm a quick bit of research shows me that its actually 50ft per gallon which is a little more reasonable. I really thought 6'' to the gallon could not be right.. What is the total power output of QE2's engines? 95 MW: enough to light the city of Southampton or equivalent to the power output of 3000 medium sized family cars. What is the fuel consumption? At the service speed of 28.5 knots, consumption is 380 tons per day: this equates to 50 ft/gall. Edited February 18, 2008 by Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerico Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Up-tide or down-tide, is the wind with the tide or against it, is it in a channel or open water? That concludes my stupid questions in this post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul223 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 6 inches , yep I can see that, sit the qe2 on a full gallon tin and as it collapses it will no doubt move in any direction about 6 inch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
