Does anyone want to retract their idiotic crap reckons on why HMNZS Manawanui sunk? At the time I wondered if it was technical, but I didn't say anything because it was too early. I'm sharing this to remind everyone a ship sinking can be due to numerous reasons. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350...

Exactly. Can happen for many reasons. I was in a frigate once (not RNZN) that had to stay in port for some days because someone fell in luff with a girl ashore and dropped a very large wrench into the gearbox (literally).
