Another stealth warship run down https://thebarentsobserver.com/en/security/2018/11/norwegian-frigate-takes-water-after-collision

Sea room on the Stbd side did not seem to be a concern … [PNG]

If I was driving a Z-peller tug I would just lay back on the line until I was required to do something. I’ve done the same thing on AHTS on a static tow with an off take tanker approaching an FPSO. There is no slack in tow line if you’re required to do something. The way this collision happened ha…

So Norwegian frigate KNM Helge Ingstad (HI) is speeding at 17 knots in pitch darkness on a secret mission outside an oil terminal and sees four merchant ships/tug heading towards him on the port side. Instead of continuing at same course, HI decides to turn port (!!) between the four ships. The bulb…

As in most collisions I believe the blame will be shared, for sure, both HI and Sola TS could had done more to avoid collision. The expression navigational exercise can mean a lot of things, apparently the AIS was of on HI, what instruments (lights, radar, etc…) that was on we don’t know, I have sa…

The main lifting will be done once the wreck is in position on the submerged barge, not by the cranes. The damages to the hull and intact strength probably answer for the need to use two cranes with 4 main hooks to do the transfer from the present position to the barge, not the max. lifting capacit…

It doesn’t look simple to remove the wreck. It rests at less than 20 meters depth on its side. It is a total loss. 7000 tons scrap is worth say $1.5 M. Two big barge cranes lifting it, still on the side, on a barge is just a waste of time and money. You have to install plenty wires, etc, around it. …

Tks for posting the chart By-C. Total lack of situational awareness on HI…

I have finally resolved the enigma … [US%20Navy] [image] US officer facing questions over sunk Norwegian frigate The KNM Helge Ingstad has been left almost totally submerged after it was struck by an oil tanker in a Norwegian fjord. :wink: …

Well… there are a few antennas and light bulbs to salvage ! :thinking:

[image] Heiwa: Anyway, warships should stay far away from merchant vessels at all times. Actually it is the other way around. Hence the saying “If it is gray, stay away”.
