That is fine if the distribution lines are still up. Gee we could have parked ten Nuke subs offshore in Gulfport, Ms and not one watt would have reached me!
Well they definitely need to pull into shore to do it, and they need a place to plug into. When subs come in and shut down the plant they run from shore power. The idea would be to reverse the feed.
Anyway I was just pointing out that it has been done in a pretty narrow scenario.

Perhaps not power directly, but IIRC didn't the US Navy use their ships as a giant desalination plant to provide 100's of thousands of gallons of fresh water after the tsunami?
Haiti definitely needs fresh water at this time...

Reverse the feed into what? Downed power lines? Brilliant!
