Electricity usage
Posted: Thu Nov 07, 2019 7:06 pm
Hi gents!
I have been wondering how the usage of electronics onboard affected the ship.
Did they need to use devices like radar carefully to save diesel?
Was it common to keep devices turned off to save diesel?
Could "everything" be turned on at the same time or was there not enough watts produced for all systems to be online simultaneously?
Would it affect the topspeed of the ship to have all generators working?
Many questions! I appreciate any answers, be it based on Bismarck or any other wwii era warship.
Kind regards,
Daniel
