Default The Belchfire!

Hey, and I know Lexie should remember this because I think she named it, but does anyone remember when we had that Temprorary Bow Thruster engine on the Bow of the DQ. Undoubtedly one of the most annoying things we ever had to put up with. But we named this big yellow Diesel engine the "Belchfire" as It tended to cough and spit and belched a big puff of smoke when it fired up. It was also so loud that you couldnt hear anything such as the loudspeakers and the Captains orders over it.
