147m/8000t Pipelay vessel sinks last night after hitting tanker!

[dom]

One for Sailorman to figure out:

According the Jakarta Post, "it would appear the Star Centurion crashed into the side of the Antea. The Star Centurion capsized and sank within hours."

Mercifully there seems to have been no casualties so far.

Looking at Gcaptain and the AIS tracks it was the Antea who crashed into the Star Centurion which was at anchor.

Pretty much the whole crew were, but not to sail small boats obviously.

The Queen is a qualified lorry mechanic, but does not, as far as I know, train sailors. But what about the bloke with the HMS Pinafore uniform she knocks about with, eh?

If only they'd been able to give Hanne Knudsen a salvo from four fifteen inch guns, or whatever the modern equivalent is. Probably a strongly worded note written on the back of an old envelope.

My recollection is she is/was a qualified HGV driver in the RCT. Though I suppose that should be the DCT in her case.

Depending on which end of BAE's kit you are looking at....

Women's ATS, and being a driver also meant being a mechanic.

Lost in translation or another reason? The photos clearly indicate the opposite.
