Yep, a Little Crappy Ship, LCS 15 was undocking while being assisted by two tugs, The tugs let go their lines and the LCS POS careened right into a parked (docked) cargo ship. Go Navy Go. Sadly, the LCS didn't sink, Happily for the crew, but sad for the Navy and America. Another useless POS excuse for a combat ship will eventually (when they learn to drive it) join the US fleet as a combat ship. I still believe Admirals should be recalled, and court martialed for selling this criminal fraud to America. Contractors too, and the politicos that supported it should be prosecuted. Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 Just give it to Canada...if they will take it.

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

Ah, the aftermath would have looked like an Oprah show: "You get a GOLAR (General Letter of Reprimand); you get a GOLAR; you get a GOLAR....everybody gets a GOLAR!" (And reliefs for the Captain, XO, and the Officer of the Deck)

I would say the tugs let go too soon. Lots of crazy currents to contend with and high winds.

There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

As far as I know, the 'tug commander' or Harbor Pilot, is in command until the ship reaches a point where it is safe for the ship to travel on its own.
