[QUOTE="4wd, post: 1062759, member: 393358"] *should* is the word. Turns out many parts of the ship got flooded one after the other due to construction defects. The remaining 4 sisterships are just as unsafe and will need serious modifications. The scandal only gets worse. Hey, didn't the naval yard test their product line? I thought they did compulsory crash-tests like with cars lol :O) Anyway, the test is now done. As for the crew, they believed the tanker's lights were a port ! (the nearby oil terminal), thus the decision of no need to change course to avoid a stationary object far away. About the radio warnings, they believed they were talking to some other ship far away, not understanding the reality of the collision warnings. Radar was seemingly working, but report tells the crew did not take it into consideration, they had made up their minds that the 'port' can not move and ram them (even as the radar may have showed otherwise). So, total confusion, and a probable lack of skills and experience. Salvage on hold due to storm. [/QUOTE]
