Huh. Were they piloted by Female US Navy Captains?

[treetopsandroofs]

At least the shhips have the same insurance company.

The damage to the ship is now known as the Carnival Glory Hole.

In this age of radar, computers and GPS technology, why would any ships ever collide?

My brother and sister-in-law were on that boat!

She put up pics right after it happened.

Let me see if I can find.

I pilot comes on the steer any ship into dock.

And the entire Sea Shepherd crew was triggered, even though they were two oceans away.

I didn’t read the article (not clicking and giving CNN hits), but it most likely happened at the port.

They were parking/already parked. They were looking right at each other.

Supposedly they were pushed together by wind but the water looks pretty calm.

Ask the U.S. Navy.

Ev'ry morning, ev'ry evening

Ain't we got fun?

Not much money, Oh, but honey

Ain't we got fun?

[Destroyer Sailor]

Yea right. Some shipyard time for sure.

[Destroyer Sailor]

Unfortunately it happens more than you think.

"Last night we experienced some major motion on the boat so this morning we assumed something similar was happening," Haynes told CNN. "We felt a jolt and didn't really think anything of it." McKinley says an on-board announcement after the crash said the currents caused the crash. Carnival Glory passenger Maddison Haynes told CNN an on-board announcement said high winds were a factor...

Naturally, incompetence in the wheelhouse was not a factor.

Carnival: when you have the tonnage but no better line wants you.

With a little elbow grease that’ll buff out no problem!
