[QUOTE="4wd, post: 1062548, member: 393358"] ok. latest news, the cranes still waiting for the emptying of fuel to be finished. The crane owners must be very happy, just waiting drinking coffee and making lots of money. The failure of securing it properly and letting it slide under water is catastophic, if it was kept mostly above water I suppose the whole ship could have been repaired, now probably completely beyond salvation due to long term internal seawater exposure + damage due to movements against the rocks. btw, another navy ship collided yesterday (!) in the same area, this time with a small private boat, two persons had to jump into the sea. Now, the latest disaster, a 270 m long dry dock sank just some km's away from the frigate :wacko: History, original named Medway Dock AFD4, ordered built by Winston Churchill in 1911. Before (at another location, looks like sinking is the only thing it can do properly after 117 years, although maintained and modified).
