After the part that a wrote here, the author says that none of the engineering officers in real life would have the talent and abilities ouf the chief enginner in the film. Mr.Scott syndrome? (this one is mine).

I think the chief engineer (LI) has to KNOW everything about his boat but not necessarily to DO everything by himself (concerning repairs, etc.).
He actually would have instructed other crew members to perform certain tasks he would not bother with.
So here the movie is deviating slightly from the truth.
