When I joined Texaco in 1970 they had 5 T2's; Melbourne, Rome, Saigon, Wellington and Bombay. They had either GE or Westinghouse electrics and all were jumboized in Japan in 1967 increasing dwt from 17000 to 23000 tons.
I never managed to sail on them but every engineer I met who did would only speak well of them. Very unusual as we are generally a whinging bunch.

The Sun defines Pole-Slip as Boris's bit on the side loosing her footing in the flat.
