    You can tell this ship uses direct drive diesel propulsion, by the way the propeller springs back (even back and forth) a bit after it stops, due to compression in the cylinders.

      Well In britannic disaster that unfortunately happened, a German U-boat stroke a torpedo at Britannic and when it slowly sank, the propellers came up onto the water and caused a stream which leaded the life boats there and so... 1,600 people survived and all 30 who died where crushed by the propellers... There is a movie of Britannic and the scene of that propeller thing...

    Imagine how it was when the Titanic's sister ship the Britannic was sinking. The Britannic struck a mine during WW1 and started sinking fast. She was almost identical to Titanic and was being used a hospital ship. The captain restarted the engines to try to ground the ship before it sank. Her propellers where as big as Titanic's, 23 feet six inches or 7.163 meters across. They were launching the lifeboats while the ship was going down. The propellers came out of the water just like you see here. The huge propellers sucked two lifeboats into them and chopped the boats and everyone into pieces. The captain stopped the engines right before the third lifeboat was pulled in.

    They move a lot of water I mean really almost twice water when they are spinning backwards... I always wonder if it is a flaw on the propellers design, I mean every single big ship has it, that propellers look concave in the wrong direction, I don't know why or find a reason for that and this video proves that, backwards spinning moves way a lot of water more than regular forward direction

      Some of those big propellers can weigh 50 tons, even at just 5 rpm a strike by a blade would probably crush all the bones in your body besides what happens to your torso. I doubt at the speed it was rotating probably around 20- 30 rpm there would be much left. I think on the ocean the top rotation speed probably would never exceed 125 rpm

    What kind of mindset makes you even post something like what you did? The prop is built to very exact specs for the vessel. Pitch, rake, camber, cup, number of blades, diameter ect., is spot on for target speed and prop slip.
