Norwegian Frigate collides with a tanker

[DA SWO]

USS West Virginia. Hit by two bombs, seven torpedos and sunk. Returned to service, 1944.

That Norwegian frigate is right side up in 30 feet of water. Patch it, pump it, float it, fix it. Right? Or not, whatever...

What electronics did the West Virginia have, your comparing crayolas to i-phones.

Careful. There are Marines on here.

Spoofing...

Or not, whatever. Mr Smarty Pants. I've eaten an i-phone, have you?

Different times, tech, and materials. Our nuke carriers are "one-shot" deals because of the cost to replenish the reactors.

Ah, but if it was a molten salt reactor, you could just pour in a new tank of glowy goodness. Yay high pressure solid fuel... C'est la vie, eh?

It's one thing to raise a sunken WW2 battleship, but that's a crayola compared to an i-phone.

Thought of this while reading your post and this thread.

Never sank, (USS)West Virginia;
Seven torpedoes, hit by two bombs.
Life was old then, older than iPhones;
Younger than the oceans, crashing on frigates.

Simpler times, take me there;
to the place I won't give up.
West Virginia, returned to action
didn't sink, simpler times.

All my memories, gather around her;
My old lady, please don't drink salt water.
Dark and gloomy painted on the sky;
Misty taste of diesel, soot burning in my eye.

Simpler times, take me there;
to the place I won't give up.
West Virginia, returned to action;
didn't sink, simpler times.

How long before the US Navy starts recruiting surface warfare officers from the Norwegian Navy...

I wonder if the Norwegians are still planning on replacing hull numbers wih bar codes?

Oops. I was late.

I was just about to post that. Guess the early conclusion as to why it sank...
