Six people were taken to hospital with minor injuries after a Royal Canadian Navy frigate was struck by a U.S. fishing trawler near CFB Esquimalt on Vancouver Island.
"ShepherdsDog" said ahhhh.... a grinder, some red lead and she'll be as good as new. Hull techs should be able to take care of that.
Once saw the nose of the Qu'appelle fixed with some rags, duct tape and ships side grey. It looked okay till it started to rain and then it looked more like the bullring was the nose and it had big multicoloured boogers hanging down.
Winnipeg is my old ship. If they're not going to take care of it I guess I'll have to join the Navy again and take care of her myself. Where the hell were the tugs? You can't even see them in the video.
According to an eyewitness, at about 8:20 a.m. the American Dynasty trawler was leaving a big ship repair dock attached to the base.
Kind of a misleading statement. Graving Dock isn't part of the base nor is it really physically attached to the dockyard (only to Naden).

Tugs had already cut themselves free by this point.

I think there's more damage aft.
.......and 10 days out of the midlife refit......
What kind of damage to the aft of the ship?

The tourists in Frisco loved it though.
Crap.
Near the end of the vid...
"Oh f*ck"
"Yeah"
