    It couldn't have been us Brian... that would imply we have at least 3 fully operational ships. LOL

    Sorry to hear that René... any further info on what exactly happened?

    I don't know what was happened. But it's not a good time for the German navy recently.

    In the end of February this year the frigate Lübeck was on a training drive in Plymouth, United Kingdom and shot it's (or her) self.

    In May a German minesweeper ran aground in Norway.

    I don't know what the guys are doing :confused:

    The vessel that was 'missed by a hair' looks to be a type 123 or 124 class Frigate from the German navy.

    I wonder if they went hard over, perhaps they could have passed astern of the second ship?

    I just cought something! I turned the volume way up & heard "Soul Bossa Nova (Dim's Space-a-Nova)" by Quincy Jones & his orchestra. It's the theme song from the Austin Powers "The Spy Who Shagged Me":rolleyes: . You can hear the piano very well when the guy ducks down. It's a goofy song that I recently downloaded.

    I heard that too the first time I watched it... thought it was a background sound from my media player or something. LOL

    Guys,

    Definitely German. If you look closely, you'll see a German flag patch on the shirt of one of the guys just for a split second. Someone also says "watch out" in German just as they are colliding..

    If you listen well, you'll also hear a number of people saying "Scheisse". A perfect word to sum up the situation...

    Blimey what utter donks lol.
    So, who's at fault here? The book says that the vessel with the camera is the stand on vessel although he's the one swerving around and causing the collision. What are your thoughts?
