  1. What ever reason Tugs escorting Ship under bridge once ship goes DIW or loses engine Tugs can push and keep it in Channel! Retired USN Bosn under Bridges all over World to include Hundred times under Coronado Bridge San Diego.

  2. Exactly But no Tugs! While transiting under bridge? 8 Knots way to fast! USN max 4 Knots with Tug escorts then if ship goes DIW tugs can keep in Channel yes Large Amphibs under Coronado Bridge San Diego! Human error No Tugs? Retired Bosn USN!

  7. Wrong explain USN ships avg speed 4 Knots in Channels. Retired USN Bosn traveled all over the world on Large Amphibs. Under Coronado Bridge San Diego approx 100 times. P.s Always Tugs alongside under bridge! @simonjohn9525

  8. Retired USN Bosn Tugs should always escort a Large ship under any Bridge! Money concerns ? Not my Field! @Therealstorm-ht7wf

  9. Understand comment on speed. Tugs would allow to keep the ship away from the bridge pilings at any speed period! Now the decision will be defended not have Tugs by those liable for damages!  @simonjohn9525
