I like Ships too

I've seen this before but can't remember the name of the German ship that sank. What is it's name?
Not German, Austro-Hungarian from WWI. Full newsreel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pSiCjfhUUw

ETA: FWIW, since that is the ONLY battleship actually filmed as it capsized and sank (AFAIK) it is used as stock footage whenever a documentary mentions the sinking of any battleship; you'll see it credited (by implication) as about a dozen different battleships from as many nations.

ETA More: HMS Barham was filmed in WWII as she capsized and exploded by British Pathe News: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdrISbwy_zI Also used as stock footage for any ship that exploded in many different documentaries. :rolleyes:

The Admiral Kuznetsov.


(CNN)A hole was gouged in the deck of Russia's only aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, Tuesday when a crane fell on it while the vessel was undergoing repairs in the northern city of Murmansk, according to Russian state media.

The accident took place after a power supply disruption caused the pumps on the floating dry dock, which was holding the aircraft carrier, to break down, causing the structure to sink.

VLADIMIR Putin’s navy suffered a major blow overnight amid fears its only aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov was damaged when its giant floating dry dock sank after an accident in the Arctic port of Murmansk.

when the window is completely covered that's when you are in a storm

When the liner's bridge windows are smashed you are in a real storm...

South of Great Australian Bight 1960 - the captain had diverted South to avoid a force 10 forecast in the Bight. Unfortunately, the Roaring 40s had a worse storm that wasn't covered by any weather forecasting in 1960.

The plus side for me:

1. I won the table tennis competition as the only competitor able to stay on my feet and adjust for the ship's movements.

2. The dining room was nearly empty and I had as many seconds as I wanted.

3. As the storm passed I was able to see the Aurora Australis - the Southern Lights.
