I am at work now, but couldn’t resist reading some of the report.
They were in modified Zebra, so not completely dogged down as they would be at General Quarters.
It is awful to read the accounts. As I have said in the past, I am an amateur naval historian, and reading this account is sadly, so similar to accounts of ships in wartime being torpedoed in the small hours of the morning while the crew sleeps. Crew being thrown from their racks, disoriented, darkness, rapidly rising water. Confusion.
Awful. Just awful.
Facts gathered so far.
Captain was asleep.
Most of the crew was asleep.
Some of the crew ‘on watch’ or ‘just awake’ were in the lounge and one was in the head.
I guess my question, if I were heading the investigation, would be was ANYONE on the BRIDGE ?
