Honestly, swapping the diesel engines for steam engines isn't so outlandish. Converting it IS outlandish, but swapping not so much. I read somewhere that a lot of the older diesel tugs in Europe were once ran on steam engines and they were swapped out for diesel engines. So swapping them back, which is a distinct possibility for the VQ, isn't so hard to believe.
