That might have started a couple of bar fights and gotten a few more guys in hot water. Although a carrier and this tanker are the same length, fully loaded the tanker weighs 3 times as much. Force = mass x acceleration.

I see the CO was originally Merchant Marine as a CMDR; XO a female CMDR; and the Command Master Chief served over 23 Strategic Deterrent floats aboard boomers from the Submarine community.

Realized they were, but remnants of earlier times and the odd “gotta blast a Somali pirate” kinda thing...main focus is the carrier, not itself.

I hope they know how to sail a desk, ‘cuz that’s about all their future holds now. There is always the possibility that one or more of them really screwed up and its in our best interest to have them out of position where they can do more harm...

I have a couple of rolls of duct tape I can send them......That should fix it right up.

Looks to me to be on the starboard side forward of the house.
In which case the tanker was the stand on vessel, destroyer at fault.
To: moose07
Don’t destroyers keep an eye out for enemy vessels? They were lucky it was a relatively benign tanker.
To: DaxtonBrown
Bondo, Elmer’s Gue and Duct Tape could fix it! Heh.

“Both vessels are okay...”
I just re-read the article and noticed that quote.
Okay? Really?

“...it’s lights out for the destroyer skipper.”
On the bright side: There’s always lobster fishing up in Maine.

This was no accident.
The tanker is a floating bomb and is a new weapon of choice.
Anything that comes ram-speed towards our ships should be sunk first and ask questions later, especially in hostile zones.
