[PUP] Nordhavn removes diesel-electric page from Construction Fundamentals section?

As the Powerball goes up so does my browsing of the Nordhavn website - I'm
not an owner but plan to be at retirement.  I've always been intrigued by
the diesel electric Siemens system, and I noticed that the page describing
it is no longer there.  On a search of the site it still show up, but it's
not listed where I thought it was (under Construction Fundamentals).  While
it doesn't seem the technology is quite ready for prime time (only one boat
I know of using it and some third hand stories of Nordhavn talking people
out of it as an option - again, only hearsay) but I've always felt it was
great idea (redundancy, house power, etc.).  Anyone have any first hand
experience with the technology, or have an idea why it appears to be pushed
aside?

 

Thanks,

(hopefully retiring with an N55)
