Bottsand-class oil recovery ship
The Bottsand-class oil recovery ships (Type 738) of the German Navy are intended for seawater pollution control. The twin hull ships feature a bow which can be opened by 65 degrees. This creates an area of more than 40 m2 (430 sq ft) to collect oil-polluted seawater. The water is pumped into the ship's 790 m3 (28,000 cu ft) tank, where it will be cleaned and the oil separated. Per hour one ship can clean up to 140 m3 (4,900 cu ft) of ocean surface polluted with a 2 mm (0.079 in) oil slick.[1]

gollark: However, the actual `reboot` command in the sandbox does *not* reboot it fully.
gollark: I can't get around that.
gollark: No, it does.
gollark: - PotatOS uses a single global process manager instance for nested potatOS instances. The ID is incremented by 1 each time a new process starts.- But each nested instance runs its own set of processes, because I never made them not do that and because without *some* of them things would break.- PotatOS has a "fast reboot" feature where, if you reboot in the sandbox, instead of *actually* rebooting the computer it just reinitializes the sandbox a bit.- For various reasons (resource exhaustion I think, mostly), if you nest it, stuff crashes a lot. This might end up causing some of the nested instances to reboot.- When they reboot, some of their processes many stay online because I never added sufficient protections against that because it never really came up.- The slowness is because each event goes to about 200 processes which then maybe do things.
gollark: WRONG!
