New Zealand’s Lesbian Navy Captain Loses $100M Naval Ship in Peacetime Disaster – Ship Runs Aground, Catches Fire, and Sinks, Unleashing Oil Spill.
- Thread starter PatMiles
- Start date
Crew couldn't tell if ship was in autopilot mode or manual mode (was in auto)
Ship headed towards land, attempted to adjust course, auto pilot overruled manual adjustments
The captain wasn't actually "type rated" to captain the vessel
My takeaway is that the NZ "Navy" is not an actual military branch, and cannot be trusted not to sink their ships and kill their sailors suggesting a battle efficiency of something very close to zero. My guess is that all those redactions aren't even secrets, but even more embarrassing circumstances than even the clown show we know.
Suffering from suffrage.
Would be great to end woke / political correctness.
Maybe we can return Rhoedesia , South Africa and others to their former greatness while we are doing things

They accelerated for around 3 miniutes into a grounding because they could not figure out the auto pilot was on. Auto pilot held course but allowed for power adjustments. They went from 40% to 100% power, thinking more power would turn the ship faster, but again the auto pilot was over ruling their course corrections.
Ooops! So, basically no one on the bridge or involved with the navigation system was capable of or should have been on the bridge. That explains everything.
NZ is a small island nation at the bottom of the world, who’s entire defence strategy is:
-be too far away to easily attack
-be to small to be worth attacking
-hope that Australia will come to the rescue should an attack ever occur
It logically follows that the entire military is a joke as they don’t take their role in the world seriously.
Outside of disaster relief in the panic islands (which is increasing difficult as their planes are never serviceable) and the SAS, the military in general is beyond a joke.
they definitely were not Brock Horners.
seems like an unsafe way to wire an auto pilot at least have a dash light that says auto pilot on or one human that is qualified to operate it on the bridge better yet program it to disconnect when any one makes certain helm changes
You don’t think there was an indicator
A variation of all those black and or women Didn’t Earn It plane crashes

The solution.
There was nothing wrong with the ship, other than unqualified operators according to the report.
maybe they can start to put postems on the control panel until ............
To not first check the autopilot shows that their command is at the very, very bottom of capability. Having had several boats with autopilot, I know that automatically without thinking that is the very first thing a skipper or helmsman would normally do.
This goes along with the NZ push to have CB digital currency. Commies in power and trying to stay that way.

Moral of the story, if her ass would have stayed in the kitchen where she belongs none of this shit would have happened.
Sounds like a baby brother for Canada.
Extra tldr, they were trying to correct course for 40min before grounding. They kept increasing throttle thinking it may eventually change course but it just kept accelerating straight.
Captain finally made it to the bridge shortly before collision and said to somebody else to make a suggestion because they knew it better than her. Upon initial abandon ship order, she said to use the bathroom first of necessary before boarding the escape rafts.

From a dingey to VLCC the very first action order on a steering casualty, or any loss of positive command for that matter, is to take off all way. I think your average farmer who has never been on a boat or ever seen the ocean could figure that out. It takes a special kind of moron to assess there is no steering so we should hit the gas.
Correction, to have a fully crewed Navy ship and not have a qualified Officer of the Deck, Conning Officer, and Helmsman steering ought to be a violation of the captain's standing orders, and/or a violation of the regulations for operating a Naval ship. I am not aware of any circumstances where an auto pilot would ever be engaged on a Navy ship. Even if the bridge is completely blown away you man aft steering. There just isn't a case where you would use autopilot...maybe if the crew is mostly killed by a virus, down to one, and you have to keep the engines going?
As much as I hate Islam and pretty much everything and everyone associated with it, it does have this covered.
If I turn the wheel and the boat doesn’t turn or immediately turns back my first thought autopilot.
I mean it’s not a fucking jet boat, you don’t need more throttle to make it turn.
Fuck you. You know that's not what I meant. I used that as an example in terms of a person completely unfamiliar with ship handling. But now that you mention it, a farmer unfamiliar with the helm (but who is used to operating (and repairing) machinery far more complex) would probably see an autopilot switch/button, and press it to make sure it wasn't engaged. Appearently NZ officers are 1/4 wits compared to farmers.
I deal with farmers all the time. The above is retarded, and would lead to mass starvation if it was uttered by anyone with any power. Bloomberg is a total fucking moron talking out his ass. I'd rather deal with ten of him than one farmer. You can't talk farmers into shit they don't want to do. If they want to sell they're sellin. If they want to buy they're buying, and nothing in-between. They live in this world only, and only listen to common sense. Farmers have highly developed bullshit detectors that are extremely difficult to defeat. They also have some of the best poker faces in all of business, and if you think you know what they're thinking you are only fooling yourself. They're hard to build trust with, and natural skeptics.
To run a farm anywhere but right into the ground requires a vast set of both practical and esoteric skills and it requires business acumen that would make a dickhead like Bloomberg shit his pants.
Some of my best friends are farmers! Racist!
Assuming it's dual screw with variable pitch props, they could have done an engine turn, and when they split the throttles the auto pilot would have swung the rudder to try and compensate, and they would have known right then who was driving.
The level of incompetence is truly astounding, but nothing is more crazy than that they lost steering and added speed. No hillbilly in a cammo jet boat would loose steering and push the throttle forward.
Tell me you haven't been in a duck boat with a hillbilly without telling me that you haven't been in a duck boat with a hillbilly.
Middle of the night, I have seen stars from the bottom of a mud boat more times than I care to count
they didn't trust her with weapons either......thank goodness BUT she was not qualified but given the mission any way by some one higher up / some one on the bridge flipped a switch to go on auto pilot [that should have been record recorded ] and they failed to disconnect it . There is 2 that should get the axe along with her .
all of my boating misadventures were from owners drinking /drugs / new to boating ....never sank but close / didn't catch fire but i was thinking i wasn't going to get out after cutting the cable on fire down below ....that was scary . The repair guy gave me a hard time about not cutting it close to the main battery too , i actually said i was sorry . Almost tipping over and a breaker breaking over us doesn't count either .....i hate boats but all my buddies love me....a mechanicTell me you haven't been in a duck boat with a hillbilly without telling me that you haven't been in a duck boat with a hillbilly.

Maybe someone flipped the switch for the lulz. Maybe the one straight guy on the bridge said enough of this crap.
They definitely need new careers. Maybe they can learn to make sammichs.
