HMNZS Manawanui inquiry finding...

[Rappey]

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

Totally random question...... a planing hull at speed leans into the turn, a large ship leans out.. which way does a submerged submarine roll ? I cant decide..

Not 'drivel' but very lightweight even for a non technical audience.

I've just checked the time of sunset and it seems it was still daylight when she grounded.
If you look at photos of her bridge layout it would be very easy to become disorientated especially if buttons rather than switches are involved. And good design would have any indication right under the nose of the person with the con - not 'over there somewhere'.

I had a hell of a fright once on an unfamiliar ship - in the dark - when I thought I was on bridge wing control but wasn't.

Trouble is, the people who design this stuff never go to sea with it.
I picked up - at the design stage - that at the centre console on one ship when you reached for one button your wrist was right over a small joystick. The joystick was a tiller that over rode the autopilot. I pointed out that in the dark somebody pressing the button was going to smack little joystick. Was told 'too late to change'.

Sure enough everyone did it at least once

Know what you mean....

In, like a motorbike.

This is quite good. I've worked with DP over 44 years ago but nothing as complicated as this.

EDIT, its youtube, don't know why it is now showing up as not available. It's the 'Whats going on with shipping' channel.

But for those on YBW who do own a boat . . .

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

Avoids all that weird guessing.

Just say No to drugs......

I think you can prevent export on Youtube depending on the wishes of the channel. Direct link here:
