USNS Comfort - Engine Room


Well composed and visually arresting image of a ship's engine space. The wide angle lens distortion works for me. Seeing what other Wikipedians think.

PREPPING FOR THE TEST Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Tyler Jones walks through hospital ship USNS Comfort's engine room in preparation for his enlisted surface warfare specialist oral board Oct. 12, 2007. Comfort completed a four-month humanitarian deployment to Latin America and the Caribbean providing medical treatment to patients in a dozen countries.

Appears in USNS Comfort (T-AH-20).

 * That's a pretty cool image! I had no idea that ship engine rooms looked like that.  However, there are what look like large blown areas on the image, and, as far as information content, it's just a bunch of mysterious stuff when sitting on the ship's image page.  If it was used to great advantage on engine room (which is currently a stub with a gallery of images), with particular parts of the engine and engine room pointed out, straightened (it's titled), and if I'm wrong about those blown areas, it would probably pass.  As is, it is very likely to fail to be promoted as a featured picture.  Enuja  (talk) 02:43, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll translate some of that out of Navyspeak. The sailor is touring the engine space in preparation to test for this pin, center top, pewter, which requires him to be familiar with all basic areas of his ship's function.  I'd have trouble identifying the specific pipes and valves because I wasn't an engineer and served on a different class of ship.  You might be right about those blown out areas, though.
