Gold Member BOHICA Posted June 17, 2017 Gold Member Share Posted June 17, 2017 They should scrap it and build a brand new one. It would put 1000's of Americans to work building a new one modern one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKIQPilot Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 UNFB. How could this possibly happen. That ship has to have the most advanced nav and warning systems on the planet. How do you run into a cargo ship that's going 10 knots. There are a whole lot of people who should lose their jobs over this one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hwytohell Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Captain Jonas Grumby , that just took over the helm of this ship, will have a lot to answer for, his Navy carrier is over, plus his personal freedom my be in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a whole lot of people who should lose their jobs over this one. I was on a cruise in the British Isles a few years back and the whole ship woke up at 5:30am to a massive list while we were headed up the river to Liverpool because the captain had to make a last minute turn to avoid a cargo ship. My cousin fell out of the other bed in the room, I thought the ship was going over for a couple seconds, all kinds of shit fell off everyone's dressers. I guess this shit happens more often than we'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge ships that turn slow in tight shipping lanes, I guess this stuff isn't uncommon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Navy captain is gonna fry for this...and it will instill a whole new level of training in what has become a lax military. Unless there is something we don't know yet, this is gonna fall on the incompetence of the US Navy sailors operating this vessel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
