HMNZS Manawanui inquiry finding...

[zoidberg]

'Who's in charge of this vessel?'

 

[RunAgroundHard]

Certainly not the person who should have been.

I have run aground on auto-helm and when steering manually.

 

[Stemar]

Never done it on autopilot, but I did forget about Shrape Sands, between Norris and Cowes once. Fortunately, a sharp right and a burst of flat out got us off.

As for who's in charge in the photo, I'd say Neptune's taken over.

Doesn't require much patience, does it, to wait until a preliminary report on what happened is published?

Avoids all that weird guessing.

Well, that ain’t going to happen.

One man and his hobby horse .

One man and his hobby horse .

Yup.

Isn't 'vindication' a wonderful word.

 

[Irish Rover]

Yup.

It would be, but I think, in this instance, delusional might be more appropriate.

 

[capnsensible]

Why? Did you read the results of the interim report? Perhaps not. Try comparing it to previous um, speculation.

Patience is a virtue.

Not quite sure you understand what ' delusional' actually means. Still that's all trivial with respect to the holes in the cheese lining up in this particular accident. Does appear to be a bit of muppetry involved.........

 

[Wansworth]

It’s how you do it makes a difference…missed the tide at St Valery sur Somme with a freight of Wheat the pilot put us safely on the sand.When the tide was out we put a ladder down and walked about on the extensive flats……but there again a coaster has a flat bottom

Does that make them a bit rolly in a seaway?

I've never been patient and, far from being a virtue, I've always associated patience with laziness and a lack of ambition and initiative.

Poor you. Best avoid boats with sails.

 

[Wansworth]

No a nice easy roll……in ballast into a head sea…….shakes things about

When a submarine (round ones) turn beam to sea to dive or on surfacing, the word 'roll' gets a lot of use!

 

[Irish Rover]

Poor you

Could you please tell the tax man.

Best avoid boats with sails

COLREGS, I know. Thankfully the vast majority of boats with totem poles rarely hang out their sheets.

 

[NormanS]

Well capnsensible, what excuses will you produce for HMS Astute going ashore in Skye.

I bet it’s not the only word that gets used either!

New Zealand: Crashed navy ship Manawanui was left on autopilot, inquiry finds

a salutary tale

 

[Irish Rover]

It's great we waited until all the facts are known and a report published before starting a thread about it. Very (capt)sensible .
