So many Spinal Tap references in this game. I love it.

Blueprints for the Blast Furnace for this quest are not purchased, or obtained from an NPC. They are lying loose on a small wooden box next to a cannon at the end of the same pier Kronk Rustspear (Horde) is on, and in a similar location a bit further out on the same pier for Alliance alts.

Blast Furnace counters the naval threat Swift. The trait Blast Furnace is first provided to you for the quest A True Naval Commander (A) / A True Naval Commander (H).

Afterward, Blast Furnace can be acquired 3 ways:

Automatically, as the native trait of a new or upgraded rare or epic ship,
Looted, from a mission that has a ship with the Gnomish Crew / Troll Crew buff, or
Purchased, from Salty Jorren / Kronk Rustspark after it has been unlocked by learning the blueprint.

Additional traits: There are 7 Tanaan Jungle bosses who are guaranteed to drop specific Equipment Blueprints needed for the achievement Naval Mechanics.

Macro code for Tomtom users:
/way Tanaan Jungle 35.4 46.8 Belgork - Bilge Pump (Counters: Stormy Weather)
/way Tanaan Jungle 37.5 76.0 Captain Ironbeard (cave entrance) - Ghostly Spyglass (Counters: Cursed Crew)
/way Tanaan Jungle 44.6 37.8 Cindral the Wildfire - Ice Cutter (Counters: Icy Water)
/way Tanaan Jungle 45.8 47.0 Felsmith Damorka - Felsmoke Launcher (Counters: First Strike)
/way Tanaan Jungle 38.0 30.0 Savage Whale Shark - Trained Shark Tank (Counters: Minelayer)
/way Tanaan Jungle 60.2 21.0 Xanzith the Everlasting - High Intensity Fog Lights (Counters: Dense Fog)
/way Tanaan Jungle 37.0 33.0 Zoug the Heavy - True Iron Rudder (Counters: Evasive)
Additionally:

All rare creatures and NPCs in Tanaan now have a chance to drop a number of equipment blueprints for ships.

Protip 1: I use Macro Toolkit to avoid having to split macros into smaller parts. There are other addons that also allow this.

Protip 2: Want an easy way to reset your Tomtom arrow to the nearest boss on the list? Just type
/cway and voila! *

Note: An 8th boss, Iron Reaver, (second boss in Hellfire Citadel) drops Equipment Blueprint: Gyroscopic Internal Stabilizer which counters Chaotic Whirlpools. The blueprint drops on all levels of raid difficulty.

Note 2: What about the rest of them? Only 3 other blueprints are available in 6.2.0. They come from various sources. Equipment Blueprint: Blast Furnace (Blast Furnace for Swift), is a quest item. Equipment Blueprint: Unsinkable (Unsinkable) and Equipment Blueprint: Tuskarr Fishing Net (Tuskarr Fishing Net) are vendor rep items.

The blueprints for Ammo Reserves, Automated Sky Scanner, Sonic Amplification Field, Q-43 Noisemaker Mines, & Extra Quarters are not obtainable and are no longer required for the achievement.
*Source: Patch 6.2 Hotfixes: July 27 - July 29

However, each of these 5 pieces of equipment has a chance to be provided automatically when upgrading or building new ships.

Patch 6.2.2 update:

As of 09/01/2015, Blueprints are now learned account-wide*.

Source: https://twitter.com/WarcraftDevs/status/639942093520027649

* Except for the blueprints that require reputation (Unsinkable & Tuskarr Fishing Net), any of the blueprints that you have learned on your alts will be unlocked at Salty Jorren / Kronk Rustspark once you have completed A True Naval Commander / A True Naval Commander.

Thank you Blizz!

It was bugged for me, so I wrote a ticket and the GM admitted it was a bug, and awarded me the achievment.

Good afternoon Philip!

I am Game Master Ethrasian and I am here to talk to you about the ticket you submitted about your "Naval Mechanics" achievement
First let me apologise for the long wait time for our response - our queues are rather large right now but we are working to answer everyone's tickets as soon as possible. :)

Regarding your ticket, thanks for your patience! The previous reply is a generic response sent to potential quest/achievement issues that generally Game Masters do not assist with - we expect some players to reopen the ticket if it does not help solve the issue :)

This issue is a known bug that still occurs, and is something we can help with.

I've now granted the achievement to your character and you should already see this ingame :)

I hope this helps!

For now though, have a great afternoon and an awesome week!
