The night of July 25, 1956 the Stockholm, a Swedish passenger liner, collided into the Andrea Doria, Italian luxury liner, south of Nantucket. The collision claimed 46 lives onboard the Andrea Doria and five lives onboard the Stockholm. This was the world’s first RADAR assisted collision at sea (Halpern, 2008). However, the collision was not caused by a RADAR malfunction. The collision was a result from the incompetence of the crew with the RADAR and the overall misconduct of the crew. The fog

"All that lead we hung off her bottom is good for something, eh, Jipper? Hang on, boy!" Nick cried. "I'll think of something!" But what, his mind answered, whatever could he do? He knew that the next wave they took broadside would be their last. He fought the tiller, determined to get the towering waves on Petrel 's stern. It was his only chance. Just at that moment Petrel was lifted high above a cavernous trough by the hand of another huge wave. For a brief moment, Nick could see most of the northern

green starboard lights on the African Star and responded with one whistle and then blew the whistle four time, while putting the Midwest Cities full astern and putting the rudder hard right to avoid the collision. According to the SS African Star, it was headed downstream just west of the middle of the river. He said he saw the Midwest Cities green starboard lights and tow lights off his starboard bow and that it was following the west bank. He thought it looked like a starboard to starboard passing

In the aviation side of the Navy there is a job known as Collateral Duty Inspector. The Collateral Duty Inspector is considered a subject matter expert on the aircraft they work on. In order to become a Collateral Duty Inspector a sailor must go through extensive training and meet certain requirements. As a sailor looking to make the Navy a career until retirement, becoming a Collateral Duty Inspector was a major goal of mine. I was on deployment with my second command VAW-126 on board the aircraft

Ship Casualty Project On the April 23, 2013, 0817 local time, “American Dynasty” was approaching a graving dock at Esquimalt in British Columbia, Canada, (48°25.9’N, 123°25.8’W) when it suffered an electrical power and propulsion failure. The “American Dynasty” drifted off course and collided with the Canadian frigate, HMCS “Winnipeg” FFH 338, which was moored nearby. Both of the vessels sustained structural damages, as well as the naval pier to which HMCS “Winnipeg” was moored. Six shipyard workers

Probably the most important incident happened on 7th May 1915 when the British passenger liner RMS Lusitania were sank by German U-20 led by Capitan Walther Schweiger with one torpedo hit and a second explosion triggered by coal dust and other explosives within 18 minutes. About a thousand people lost their life, among them about 100 Americans. Hence American protest were quite sharp and this incident dragged the United States into the war. However the incident itself contains some unexplained mysteries

While the basic rowing stroke remains the same, there is a slight difference. In a sweep boat most rowers row on a single side, this means that they either row port or starboard. From the coxswains point of view starboard is on the right side of the boat, and port is the left. To the rower that is backwards because they are facing different directions. Rowing to one side requires the rower to lean to their rigger. There is also a difference on

The failure of the shuttle system is attributed to flaws in the SRM AFJ of the starboard SRB. The smoke observed puffing from this location, which resulted from the combustion of grease, joint insulation and the two O-rings that serve as the joint seal, indicated a seal failure at this joint (8). This failure, while rooted in design flaw, was likely worsened in flight due to joint separation from initial launch forces experienced on the pad, as well as through high wind shear effects.  The flame

The Sinking of the Lusitania On the 7 May 1915 at 14:30, then 240 metre long and 27 meter wide ship the Lusitania sunk to the sea bed. Despite the fact that so many were killed, 1,195 people, this ship has not become one of history’s most well known vessels, unlike the Titanic. This is due to the fact that the Lusitania was sunk by the Germans during the First World War. The Lusitania and her sister ship, the Mauretania, were built by John Brown & CO Ltd in Glasgow
