Running to the thruster solution versus thinking the problem through effectively makes for bad boat handling. Thrusters are there to be used but an operator needs to know the fundamentals. Thrusters are for advanced boat handling. I believe the new crop are learning boat handling backwards. Chouest tried this in Mayport, Moran in Norfolk. They found it was easier to put fresh people with no boat handling skills at all on these new boats then to put seasoned boatmen on those boats. When those sailors attempted to rotate out of those positions quite a few had difficulties because the fundamentals of boat handiling we’re never taught.
