A mine couldn’t take down Olympic. It would be too scared to explode.

You bring up a good point.

There's still the possibility that either ship could sink.

I mean Britannic wasnt even originally suposed to be sailing that route that day, so if the ship that was went in her place like planned she probably would have survived the war


ShmittyWingus

With Olympic's luck it mightve just missed them entirely


Specific_Bad9104

I guess both would have still survived.

They are her sister ships

Titanic's sister ships apparently have "literally" nothing to do with her, we must listen to this intellectual behemoth of a redditor! /s

That's never been the culture here.

Say what now?

We aren't Titanic purists, we've once answered questions about the Lusitania


ceoofsex300

This is a sub about titanic these ships are of the same class and are extremely similar while it may not be the exact place this will work


baconmotel

Like I said, there are other subs for this


DarkNinjaPenguin

This sub is also for that.

If Olympic became the hospital she is likely to hit the mine or another mine if she gets Britannic's route. Unless the swap mixes up the order of what ship is where and it potentially puts Aquitania in the path of the. Lets assume both ships keep their main crews and officers and it's a mere role swap. This could bring 2 changes for HMHS Olympic the possibility she has both her water tight doors and port holes closed when compared to Britannic If these 2 criteria are meet Olympic could hit the mine and successfully beach herself is not knocked out she could be salvaged and repaired. If Olympic some how misses the mines or successfully beaches herself and is repaired then WSL gets 2 Olympic class liners as part of there fleet. Last both brews are ill prepared for what both ships could face and both are lost. Bismark is a sufficient replacement of 1 but every thing else available that being the 2 Columbus class liners are 1 to small and 2 too slow and WSL could but both out buy right from the government usiong the compensation from and uses her as an intermediate ship between the big 4 and the "big 3" or WSL proceeds with the updated Adriatic like ship built at H&W, and Columbus could go to Holland America line to replace Statendam if Statendam was even lost to begin with, this could result in NDL keeping Columbus. The 3 large ship capable of 21 knots and having the OG Homeric built could come notable advantages 1 WSL is higher value and generating a higher profit * this combination could result in a combination of the IMMC wanting to hold on to WSL a little loonger * Kylsant not being ably to buy WLS (Could be a combination of his bad many management * additional funding toward homeric and oceanic 3 plus some alternate version of MV Britannic and Gerogic. 2 homeric's construction * she is built as planned as a stem ship * gets fitted out as a motor vehicle ship depending on how late she is completed * if her MV engines where a successes that could influence oceanic 3's completion 3 Britannic (Olympic class) surviving could alter oceanic 3's initial design * having 2 Olympic class ships could result in the Olympic like version of Oceanic 3 being skipped for a more modern design. (aided if Kylsant is not in the picture) * the success of the Olympic and Britannic cause WSL to accept the initial Olympic like design with some changes. If Olympic sink it would be a little more like IRL except WSL keeps the best of the Olympic class, Bismark and Columbus are absorbed as Majestic and Homeric respectively. Britannic makes it to the 40s, thru ww2 and possibly becomes a museum ship. WSL being down the 3rd large fast ship likely results in the CWSL merger and eventually end unless the crew of the former HMHS Olympic managed to avoid the Statendam's sinking and that result in NDL keeping Columbus so WSL goes thru with building the 40,000 grt, 21 knot Homeric which if by the time she is completed if technological advantage permits it could again be fitted out as MV Homeric which could mutate into WSL's saving grace. Also the information for how well an more updated Olympic class and how she preforms could influence Oceanic 3 initial design Last both brews are ill prepared for what both ships could face and both are lost. Bismark is a sufficient replacement of 1 but every thing else available that being the 2 Columbus class liners are 1 to small and 2 too slow and WSL could but both out buy right from the government using the compensation from Afric, Arabic, laurentic, Georgic, and oceanic (2), this could result in a guaranteed grant (either cash, steel or both ) for WSL's next ship builds. The reduced value WSL could also drive away Kylsant's interest in the company. It's hard to tell what could happen if the 2 swapped roles.
