may not be their fault

uhm, they hit a ship that was leaving or entering a dock... pretty clear cut.

nah

not clear cut at all

explain it to me.

It's not easy to collide with another ship you know

Swiss Lake Fleet>All Navies

It's not even easy to crash a plane

^^true

@The Flying Dutchman hello guy with pfp of an italian disgrace

@Kami/Cummy hello weeb

there's a lot of factors when dealing with coastal navigation during night, and a lot of civillian shipping captains like to push schedules hard

@The Flying Dutchman im jap i spread the weeb not be one

could be a whole bunch of stuff causing this, adverse local weather conditiions/visibility/schedule pressures/technical faults on both sides

warships are super thin and cargo ships are thicc bois

i could understand if they hit a small vessel, like the tug that was there. but hitting a tanker is like hitting a mountain and not even seeiing it before the fact.

@Leeroy That is true, but a state of the art frigate warship should have the equipment to navigate properly. I think it's fair to assume human fault.

depends on a lot of stuff, like I said

the ship was only 10 years old or so aswell.

leeeerrrooooyyy jenkins

aka pretty new.

source?

and yes but a lot of warships have to shut down large swathes of their radar suite in order to transit local sealanes

either way yes it could be a major fuck up on the ships company of that frigate

or it could be a shitbag civillian crew with a drunk ass captain doing his thing

we'll find out I guess

Suppose so

hmm true, will be interesting.

more inclined to think it's not the frigates crew

but that boat's had some serious technical issues in the past

the source for the age of the ship. gimme a few mins.

we had her in port for a couple months a year or so ago

worth pointing out no more severe than our type 45's issues

The ship wasn't even insured. https://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/i/OndLnO/saa-mye-koster-fregatten-helge-ingstad?utm_content=row-1&utm_source=vgfront (right click and translate with google)
