Misfit Assignment Prompted Narrow Engine Room Doors
A famed naval chief engineer, weighing over 300 pounds, was ordered to head a smaller gunboat’s mechanical department. He drew exact door dimensions and his own full figure to show the impractical passage, then submitted the sketches to the navigation bureau. The plan was recalled, and he may receive a flagship next round. The piece also cites common quotations in journalism from Shakespeare to Goldsmith and Campbell.
