i get why theyre important but have they not been replaced by stuff similar to air traffic control where theyre just saying slow the boat down you dumb fag? do harbor pilots still jump onto ships and steer them in?

Yes. It’s a racket. But the cost is low compared to knocking out a bridge ….

to what extent do they actually steer a giant container ship or cruise ship or whatever? they gotta just jump on and tell the crew where to go right?

They give helm and engine commands to the bridge team. The wheel is literally manned by the helmsman, usually an AB.

the turdskin crew lost power to the ship so the pilot had no ability to control the ship.
