Re: Well Done Norway! US Navy take notes!

The point of collision is almost exactly half a NM from a marked obstruction. The period up to then Sola was opening from the shore, so I don't think you are quite correct. Given that the nearest...

Re: Well Done Norway! US Navy take notes!

Not that easy to identify in the dark. And it's not like the Happy Terrorist is going to sit on the dock of the bay, waiting indefinitely for a warship to pass along. With any number of websites you...

Re: Well Done Norway! US Navy take notes!

Time to dispel some myths. There are only a couple of "our" enemies that even have satellites, but pretty much everyone has access to the internet. So a lack of AIS does not necessarily hide our...

Re: Well Done Norway! US Navy take notes!

Again assuming VTS had their equipment set up to receive it - ie. the proper crypto loaded. The report does mention that the capacity is there, it has been tested, and any attempt to make an...

Re: Well Done Norway! US Navy take notes!

It was briefly mentioned, but they didn't discuss the consequences. But it is a good point; there was not a lot of passing room between the northbound ships and HI before Sola jumped into the mix.

Re: Well Done Norway! US Navy take notes!

It can only calculate based on the data transmitted - if one of the vessels is in the middle of a turn while coming up to speed, the collision will only be warned once it has steadied up - in this...

Re: Well Done Norway! US Navy take notes!

Well it took a while to go through all 200 odd pages of the report, and it generally seems thorough, although I would suggest they focussed primarily on explaining away the "situational awareness" of...

Re: Well Done Norway! US Navy take notes!

Well the issue appears that the OOW was 100% sure in his/her mind that it was a pier. Of course that was wrong, but the issue wasn't necessarily that they hadn't taken bearings of what they thought...

Re: Well Done Norway! US Navy take notes!

If you're doubling the angle on the bow (or other such technique), or passing very close to an object or while experiencing concerning set/leeway, I can see taking bearings of fixed objects. But in...

Re: Well Done Norway! US Navy take notes!

You check relative angle on points of land you're passing?

Re: Well Done Norway! US Navy take notes!

It's not a lame excuse, it's a contributing factor. Yes an on-the-ball OOW would have used all the tools available to check and confirm, rather than blindly going on previous assumptions, but the...

Re: Well Done Norway! US Navy take notes!

Pretty vague set of recommendations. That said the investigation seems thorough and touched on all of the conditions that created this "perfect storm."
