Second time they've whacked a cargo ship this year. Has anyone told the septics the rules of the sea etc?

TTT....they won't take any lessons from us as wee use nuclear powered submarines as battering rams.

Haven't they got radar ( or whatever it is now ) on these boats .
Perhaps the radar man couldn't interpret the blips on the screen

Reminds me of Uncle Arthur explaining why the ship he was on during the war had a collision
He didn't understand the dots on the screen.

On a serious note my sympathies goes out to the families of the lost crew .

It seemed pretty clear from the picture of the damage to the military vessel on the news that it didn't whack anything, bearing - as it did - obvious signs of a blow from a bulbous bow in its side. Still, perhaps the crew should have known a ship was approaching!

yes they were crossing shipping lanes when they should have been giving way.

As Trump said when told of the collision "that's too bad"
