Just a small additional information regarding the Bounty's
pumps. They add actually two systems, one connected to the engines (an hydraulic one) and not dependent on the generators and other one electrical. It is not clear what was the main and the back up system but we know that the engines were not in working condition (even if we don't know why) so that system was the first to be put out of service.
