A fellow I knew while flying helicopters in the Navy Reserves had gone
on to command a tender ship. It got some major work done in the
boiler room in Taiwan (or some such Pacific place). They removed and
replaced some of the steam lines that carry 1200 pound steam at 1200
degrees F. On the first day at sea for trials, one of the lines
broke. 7 sailors died instantly.
Wrong bolts were used. The captain lost his career.
