where does all the equipment go those ship breakers in India deal with? I wouldn’t mind having a small centrifuge but never see one, i’m probably not looking hard enough but not all that stuff is sitting on a shelf in india somewhere! ---

Depending on the need machinery can be reused. One of the ships I was on needed a replacement SSTG after the turbine threw a few blades. We got a replacement off a ship that had just been run up on the beach in Alang. ---

I always wondered about DP systems. Lots of hardware there. ---

One class of ship I served on had a combination lathe, drill press,mill and a shaper. There is a drawer of cutters for the mill never used. The lathe bed was about 7-8 feet and part of the ways could be removed for larger dimension work pieces. It would have looked very fine in my workshop (I have 3 phase 440 volt supply). But I suppose they are snapped up by manufacturers of AK47s in one of the “Stan’s” ---
