Two Royal navy warships have suffered damage after colliding with each other in Bahrain.

Footage of the incident, which happened in Bahrain Harbour on Thursday, shows the HMS Chiddingfold smashing into HMS Bangor, in what appeared to be a bungled attempt to reverse alongside it.

The collision is being investigated by British naval authorities

Women on the ships not talking to each other in a snit?

Wants war with Russia…

It’ll buff right out

I’m sure the Royal Navy will be operational again by 2030. Although the repair costs will probably cancel out the shipbuilding budget for the next decade.

at least they didn’t demand a lighthouse move out of their way

For hundreds of years the UK Navy only allowed MEN to captain its ships...

Technically I give you off the coast, but that’s just semantics. Really one ship backs into another docked ship.

Bangor?

Naw just a little dent…

No wonder the Islams are attacking the west

They’re not blind. They see we’re weak, lack resolve, and are falling apart

OMG.

Affirmative action ship captains?

Parallel parking. I hate parallel parking.

That along with rum, sodomy, and the lash kept the Royal Navy spit-spot

My XO would have hung someone for that …

A lot of damage - because the hull is made of plastic.

“That’s my parking space, bitch!”
