Hi, this thread caught my interest and seeing that some very knowledgeable people are answering, I have a question that has caught my interest a while back. I'm hoping some of you might know the answer.

If Standard speed is running the three main diesels or generators, and full is the 3 main diesels and the Auxiliary Diesel, is flank just squeezing more turns out of the engine? or is it drawing on the batteries (as they would have done in RL) to assist the diesels in getting those emergency extra turns?

Running TMO 2.5 btw.

Thanks, Sam.
