  I understand that the ash dumping procedures were very involved and messy to the ship.

• Rmor Plate said:

  Martin Manning I understand that the ash dumping procedures were very involved and messy to the ship. Not really, they had pumps and chutes and they basically blew it out the side. It was taking coal onboard that was labourious and messy.

• Martin Manning said:

  Rmor Plate Coolness! I visited the Battleship Texas: last dreadnought, and it was useless for information as it had been converted to oil in the '20s.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Texas_(BB-35)

AUDACIOUS (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Kilted Cowboy said:

  poor Audacious, she barely got her engines broke in and then she was gone. Lost after barely a year, and one the very first capital ships lost, the admiralty covered up her loss until after the war, even though Olympic helped rescue survivors. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Audacious_(1912)
