Fuel tanker and cargo ship collideThe writer meant to say a cargo ship collided with a tanker at anchor. It's like describing a collision between a drunken driver and a light pole. The light pole was coming straight at me but it was too late to turn away.

I heard that the Solong was traveling at 16 knots when it broad sided the tanker.
Almost sounds intentional.

This is in the area where the Finns (was it the Finns?) were refusing to service American fuel tankers.
