KNRM lost a rescue vessel. At least it ain't Are Visser. The hull is orange bottom, blue upper hull.

They capsize the vessel in a controlled situation, to test if the vessel can upright herself.

It is one of the Arie Visser class. They stopped painting the vessels to reduce the cost.

Q: if I lean against the HMS Ocean while she is docked with no wind or current, what happens?

A: She moves!

Proof that one man can move a mountain.

All it needs is a lick of paint. Some welding, a new stern, new bow, new hull, new superstructure, engines, electrics, deck equipment, propellors and she'd be as good as new.

Was this the one that got stranded in the Canaries?

llamalord · « **Reply #114 on:** December 01, 2009, 12:11:02 »

That's not the SS Blue Lady. That is the SS America.
The ship was being towed to be turned into a hotel I think. The lines broke and attempts to re attach to her failed.
She washed up on the beach and she was declared a total loss. They decided to just leave her. Her stern section was almost completely detached, that's why it's not there.

That ship is also sister ship to the SS United States. Older sister of course.

Correct.
I don't know about KNRM, but over here the RNLI state that the boat must self-right in less than 14 seconds, or it's back to the drawing board. The test is done twice, once with sacks of sand in the seats, then again with the crew.
