HMS Superb Suffers Submerged Grounding In Red Sea - The Stupid ...

My boy is on HMS Superb. Assuming they all came through the 'incident' (and most of you will know more about that than I do- but the boat did sail head on into an underwater mountain, however that may have happened)- they made it to Aqaba. My worries only intensified when my son was able to call home and tell me that they have to make it through the Red Sea and the Suez canal. A Brit sub would not sail without full watches of qualified propulsion personnel. There are severe shortages but if a sub was undermanned to the point that they did not have the required number of "nukes" they would take someone off a boat that was in maintenance. It is ridiculous to suggest untrained sailors could man and operate systems in the Engine Room or sit on a Reactor / Electrical panel.

MikeM says it's "...ridiculous to suggest untrained sailors could man and operate systems.." Sadly, they do and it's not the training that's wrong, they all have umpteen perfectly executed course certificates, it's the wink and a nod toleration of too-brief seamanship experience and the over-reliance on single-source electronic navaids. I know for a certain fact that some Captains entrust u/w night watches to officers whom they privately admit are barely capable of explaining the most basic steering and sailing rules. They do this because a replacement will very likely be worse, so you try to educate who you have as quickly as you can. Despite perfect passage planning logs, chartwork remains poor and patchy runs of SINS/GPS plots.

Politically, I'm a moderate realist. In Idaho, that makes me a Democrat. (If you don't like something on this blog, please E-mail me. Don't call me at home.
