That’s not a minor grounding. That’s hitting what should be a well charted reef if that’s the real picture.

Hull has to be taking a hell of a beating by the looks of it.

“protected marine sanctuary”

NO waaayyyy!! Thats so cool. We’ve really needed a place where marines can run free and be happy later in life.

Hum, a minesweeper (a boat specifically designed to find stuff underwater) runs aground.

Somebody is in big trouble.

I didn’t think these kind of FUBARs were even possible in the age of satellite navigation. Why wouldn’t a ship this size have onboard systems that would warn them away from hitting a reef?

Chart of the area here, the reef is in the vicinity of 09N 120E:

Chart 92120

Latest in Stars and Stripes says the crew has been taken of the ship. Not good at all.
