In my years as master of an AHTS and as master of a feeder container ship all with CPP I was lucky? enough to avoid a CPP failure that you describe.
In sum instances such as berthing in wild weather or manoeuvring off a rig in deep water such a failure could have made me front page news and in the former case left a monument.
I guess that’s why I got paid the big bucks for, to wear the engineer’s oversights.
