Maybe I misunderstood what you meant when you asked, "He looks like he's still in the throttles?" I thought you were indicating that he was still...
Yeah, but in a back bell.
I was in the USN, also, and, if I'm not mistaken, around the same period as you were -- the '70's -- and have experience using a grease pencil to...
You should really be careful about your statements. The accidents were 2 destroyers and 1 cruiser, and all of them were part of the Seventh...
Am I kidding about what? If you are referring to my comment "The Navy knows how to responsibly use ships in spite of what happened to the...
Grounding in the Navy is frowned upon; "The Navy should be moored" would be better.;) The Navy knows how to responsibly use ships in spite of...
I agree with you completely. I was just pointing out that AIS info would have been displayed on their equipment if they had had the latest nav...
Here's a quote from the Propublica report: "They included problems with the ship’s primary navigation system. It was the oldest such system among...
I think the following is a good accounting of what happened to the USS Fitzgerald and why it happened:...

Not to worry, AD0826. What you posted is relevant info, and some of us use "old" posts. About a year ago, I referenced a thread I found from...
The camera man could've been included in the script to add credibility to it being a real accident. You seem to think that the camera man's...
I agree that the whole show is scripted. Olderboater seems to think that this MOB was not intentional, and I was trying to point out not only...
The MOB looked staged to me. The deckhand was holding onto the white tow line attached to the tender and didn't let go pulling him into the...
Well, that explains what olderboater was doing.:rolleyes:
I wasn't looking for a repeat of your advice on how Mikolebi should get out of his predicament; you were clear about that as well as surveys in...
It seems to me that you are attacking Anfisa because she recommended reading Mikolebi's blog, the creation of which was against your advice. So,...
If you meant "Wisk," it was discontinued in 2017.
