Only one propeller working

You'll probably find your top speed will be reduced while charging, too.

To get around this, clock on the CE icon, then orders, then on the propellor options where you can change from charge to not and back again..

if that makes sense?:hmm:

"Screws"

They're called screws. Not propellers. One is on ships and subs, the other on planes. Subs don't fly......

Unless your the sub from the Dolphin video! :rotfl:

Uhm...no we called them props in engineering for the 15 years i was in my friend...lol.

You did?

Wait! I get it!

Ships have screws.
Boats have props.
Subs are refered to as "Boats", ah......!

See? Even a skimmer like me can learn still.

(but you bubbleheads are weird!... :rotfl: )

Bubbleheads, skimmers, boats, ships...

When John Stevens tried, and John Ericsson and Francis Pettit Smith separately succeeded in developing the device, they all obtained patents under the name Screw Propellor. The first warships to use the device, HMS Rattler and USS Princeton both used the double term. Quibling over what it should be called is kind of sill...no, wait, I do that all the time.:rotfl: Never mind!

Hey I'm cool with it. I just remember how up on the bridge the watch would call out how many turns the "screws" were making for X amount of knots.

But y'all can call them what you want.

Hey! Is that a rope laying on the floor? I'd better pick it up and hang it on this wall. Next I'll go through this metal door and ask where the bathroom is. But I don't want to get anyone out of their bed for that. Maybe I'll just go up these stairs and walk down this hallway to the cafeteria. There might be someone in the kitchen that I could ask. Is this the way to the back? No, it must be the way to the front, on the left side of the ship where the other ship is. We're on her right side. Ah, here we go it's a round, trap door that I can go down. Looks like one of the crew's sleeping rooms. Hey! They've got a bathroom! I'll just use one of their toilets.

:rotfl:
Any sailor worth a salt is rolling over right now!

'scuise me, I gotta hit the head and use the *******! :rotfl:
