“He or she?”
Weird. It’s almost as if the article goes out of its way to avoid disclosing.

Well as the famous Greek historian Thucydides may have said “A collision at sea can ruin your entire day.”
To: robowombat
Officers blew off the warnings, thinking they were just a drill.

Isn’t the point of a drill, to pretend it’s not a drill, for practice and/or evaluation?

Another article said the frigate’s crew was predominantly female and that 4 out of 5 navigators were female. The military purposely made it so in order to prove females could do the job men had always done. The frigate has been subject to newspaper articles for that reason.

Well all the good stuff is the top part, so it’ll be just fine once they dry the rest of it out.

The American officer, who has not been identified ...
Bet is either a woman or some guy pretending to be one and was busy in his/her/its cabin at the time of his/her/its watch ...

Sounds like one heck of a Sapphic love boat....potentially.

Not sure what is meant by “5 navigators” on a frigate. We had one ship’s navigator, the responsible officer, and several supporting enlisteds.

He or she? Why does that matter?
To: robowombat
Damn. So damage control is foreign to the Norwegian Navy ? Just how big of a hole was caused by the collision? Especially if they had had a couple days to work it. Unless the ship cracked in half, they should have at least maintained some sort of watertight integrity. Need pictures and more info, but I would suspect some half assed efforts were applied to damage control.

From some pix I saw it was a BIG hole into the
engine room, starboard side.
Starboard side of tanker bow.
A real cockup.
