Why does an engine failure sink a warship?!?!?
Thai navy sailors missing as engine failure sinks warship with 106 on board
My best guess:Why does an engine failure sink a warship?!?!?
Did it explode or something?
I looked the ship up and it seems to be US made. Imagine the nasty video titles and accusations by the media had it been one of the Chinese made ships operated by Thai Navy. RIP.My best guess:
The storm blew seawater onboard the ship and into the hull -> Enough seawater went into the ship hull and flooded the engines and powerplant systems -> No power and electricity -> Pumps cannot be operated to pump out seawater inside the hull-> Ship took in more seawater -> Ship listed even further and eventually sank.
Hopefully everyone onboard survives. May those who didn't made it to safety rest in peace.
