I thought ships had radar so that they could avoid other ships

It only works if someone is looking at it...

Obviously forgot to use a turn signal.

Was the ship made by BMW?

That's funny.

Fastest ship?

Testing showed the KM to have an optimum (fuel efficient) cruising speed of 430 km/h (267 mph, 232 knots), and a maximum operational speed of 500 km/h (311 mph, 270 knots). The maximum speed achieved was 650 km/h (404 mph, 350 knots), although some sources claim up to 740 km/h (460 mph, 400 knots).

We were just sailing along, minding our own business, and a prop blade fell off.

they do have radar but they're also on autopilot running under as few a crew as possible under the law to save as much money as possible. If things like this happen, it makes you rethink the whole idea of sailing around the world alone, doesn't it? So much for the Vendee vessels..good thing for them they aren't like the old Golden Glove race...

The USN recently announced this ship would be too expensive to repair so it's being decommissioned.

Testically, that's an Anchor Cable.

The North Pole

Not a pretty ship.

And as chains go, that's a medium small. In my past I dealt with chains (for mooring buoys for aircraft carriers etc.) in which each link weighed up to a tonne.

Much bigger than this:

HMS Roberts

One of the last Big Gun monitors. She took part in the bombardment on D-Day.

It looks awful tippy.

I made a short cruise on an LPH once. Round bottom and sailed like a bath tub.
