Military ships do have different requirements and design goals. Most US carriers and cruisers are steam driven. Still, many smaller (destroyer / frigate) class men-of-war have compound turbine engines.

Some of the fast boats, coast guard cutters and such, are diesel with a gas turbine for sprints. The GTs use a *lot* of fuel.

Fine,if you are prepared to put your trust in Faux News.
It doesn't have much to do with what sonar can (or can't) do.

There is also info from a crew member that the captain was screwing around, showing off when it happened.
That goes along with him being so scared that he ran before the ship was even done being evacuated. He knew he was in deep kimshee.
He'll get life in an Italian jail. Oh joy. He won't last 15 years.
Sad for all those folks though. They (the news) were up to 6, but I'd say those other 26 'missing' will be found in the ship or under it.
The sonar doesn't matter during the avoidance maneuver.
It is a three steer sine wave maneuver. You steer right, and then left, just as the tip of the ship passes the pinion, then right again to bring the tail back out after the pinion has passed the stern.
They were not at a port.
Bullshit! They absolutely want to stop all illegal carriers emitted, especially if on illegal bands, which these are for transmission.
They became lax about the CB band and TV commercials, but that's about it.
Waist deep? Looks more like about 10m to me.
No need--
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's command center routinely monitors dozens of popular websites, including Facebook, Twitter, Hulu, WikiLeaks and news and gossip sites including the Huffington Post and Drudge Report, according to a government document.
A "privacy compliance review" issued by DHS last November says that since at least June 2010, its national operations center has been operating a "Social Networking/Media Capability" which involves regular monitoring of "publicly available online forums, blogs, public websites and message boards."

OK, but from all appearances, the FCC has no ability to deal with all communications law breakers, even if DHS shared their findings with FCC. FCC had adequate funding and technical resources in the past, for sure. Things changed bigtime.
It is a huge problem now that nearly all of us use wireless technology every day.
Think about the incredible increase in RF spectrum use over the last few years and contrast that with the tiny increases shown in the budget, especially considering the
50% fall in the value of the dollar in the time considered:--Winston

Trying doing joined-up logic for once in your life. He could have had a sonar scanner which would have been able to see the rock.
Faux News may have access to Italian breathalyser reports, but they are also in the business of producing entertainment for right-wing nitwits with predictable prejudices about citizens of countries outside the US.
More reputable news services also have pictures of the half submerged cruise-ship lying on it's side, which seem unlikely to have been photo- shopped, but they are being a bit more restrained in their speculations about how things went wrong.

He had something better: a chart that told him where there weren't rocks.

This is a prediction which would be hard to falsify, since none of my nieces and nephews see me as a possible baby-sitter. My own up- bringing involved my parents getting very vigilant about any activity which might be described as "playing with fire", so if I ever did get lumbered with baby-sitting I'd presumably make sure that the kid never got anywhere near a match in the first place.
Quite why Ken S. Tucker is exercising his formidable imagination in this way escapes me - one day he may tell us about the disabling head injury that aborted his promising career in physics, but for the moment we have to deduce its consequences from the incoherent ramblings he posts here from time to time.
Somehow i doubt that is going to stand up.

Somehow i doubt that the advantage is really that much. Just a couple of years ago a harbor pilot went blundering about and hit the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge, nearly sunk the ship.

today he is saying the reason he was one of the first to leave the ship, was that he tripped and fell into a lifeboat ...

pMy father and mother both had degrees in chemistry, and I went on to get a Ph.D. in physical chemistry - your imagination regularly leads you astray, but this is further off the wall than usual.
I've got a perfectly rational distaste for Faux News and Rush Limbaurgh - as would anybody with brain in their head. This doesn't generalise to "all things American" otherwise I wouldn't be quite so fond of all the stuff the Bob Widlar designed. As usual, you are imagining stuff which happens to be completely wrong.
I've seen them, as have others. They are pretentious nonsense.
Check out scholar.google.com searching on "A W Sloman". I'm not an academic, and the one cited paper got written up just after I'd moved the the Netherlands and didn't have anything better with which to occupy my time, but the less cited papers give an indication of some of the areas where I did do some work.

Looks like the Italian criminals are just as loony as the Italian court system.
Maybe that one certain prosecutor should take *his* case. (the one that railroaded the American girl into prison)
