Those LNG ships are a special breed indeed. Most of them are in fact steam ships (as are nuclear powered ships) for the simple reason, they have steam turbines for the main propulsion. And there is a good reason for that too. To keep the LNG liquid (and very cool) they have to constantly let evaporate a little liquid gas, which keeps the rest cool and liquid. But you do not want to waste that gas. You put it in boilers to make steam for the main propulsion. Simple, economic and effective.

I just got my copy of the SH4 Gold DVD from Amazon, so expect a strict radio-silence for some time . . .

Regards, run silent, run deep.
