And for what? Why would a tugboat conceivably have any need for such a
feature? This isn't some top-secret ship with cutting edge military tech
or something that needs to be kept out of enemy hands at all cost. It's
a tugboat for a huge ore barge. What conceivable reason would its
designers have to include an elaborate self-destruct system in its
design?
There are a LOT of devices about which I ask this!
