Hi fellas

Those are some nice looking Z-boats. I like the training turret.
Here are a few more pics of the wisky damage. here is a link for the accident report/deck log, if you want to know who screwed up. It also has more pics.

Look at the crunching of the internal shot how the bulkheads, were bulged. Also look near the anchor chains how the deck was warped from the jolt. You can see the crunch line good vertically where the 6 is in the hull number. It takes a lot to stop a battleship under power. It drug the poor ole' Eaton sideways for a while. One of the Wiskys 16 in turrets weighs as much as the whole Eaton because of all the armour. Looks like the wisly is full loaded near 57000 tons(draft line). Serious FORCE..... Like a train hitting a car. They fixed her up to fight in Vietnam, but in 1970 she was decommissioned and sunk off the coast of Florida. USA.
