Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is really necessary with an article for each of these vessels? The contents of these articles are identical, and any difference between the ships are much better explained by saying exactly what the differences are.

The contents of these articles should be merged with Fridtjof Nansen class frigate, and this page should be converted into a redirect.

Suggestions for improvement

[edit]
  • Descriptions common to Nansen-class frigates should be integrated with the Fridtjof Nansen-class frigate page. For example the equipment and weapons etc.
  • After a verdict in the trial has been reached (May 2023) all the trial minutia should be summarized
  • We need a summary box that shows, according to investigation reports, what happened clearly and simply.
  • Q: Do wikipedia airline accident pages have a template that is better suited to this page?
  • Q: A couple of USN Arleigh-Burke destroyers also suffered collisions due to avoidable human error are their pages easier to follow?

Page needs simplification

[edit]

This was a complex situation with many involved parties and investigations and a case/s in court. While it is very difficult to describe system failures this wikipage is bogged down in transcript like details.

Is there some way to summarize that a warship equipped with functioning radar and sensors, travelling at a rapid 18kts failed to get out of the way of an oil tanker? Near its home port? Its own AIS was turned off and an inexperienced bridge crew failed to monitor and avoid the situation?

It appears to have been scuttled

[edit]

If I read this link correctly, the ship has been scuttled and is now at the bottom of the fjord:

A confusing source, but the ship was not scuttled, it was taken away. Springnuts (talk) 18:08, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]


That is incorrect, it was not scuttled, it ran aground, ship evacuated, water tight doors left open and then slipped into deeper water and sank.

At a later date it was raised and removed for scrapping.

Remove a confusing sentence

[edit]

I just removed the page about the tug pushing on the stern to ground the frigate. I can’t see this information in the sources, and indeed the sources are clear (in particular the initial investigation report) that the ship grounded by itself whilst without power or steering. So, it may be that the tug assisted after the grounding by helping to hold the stern against a shallow area of the sea bottom. But I think this is speculation, or at least it’s not in the sources. If it is, the material might usefully be restored, but re-written to make it clear that this occurs after the grounding and not as part of the grounding. Friendly regards, Springnuts (talk) 07:11, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There were tugs that did do what you are describing:
tug assisted after the grounding by helping to hold the stern against the shore. They also tried to keep the ship anchored to the shore using wire cables that later snapped and THEN the ship slipped into deeper water and submerged.
The photos in local Norwegian language sources show this. Germsteel (talk) 21:45, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Final? report on the collision

[edit]

Now available, on https://www.aibn.no/Marine/Published-reports/2019-08-eng?iid=27425&pid=SHT-Report-Attachments.Native-InnerFile-File&attach=1. It covers causes and the events up to the collision. Springnuts (talk) 17:30, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Feminist ship sunk by incompetence

[edit]

The article avoids mentioning at all costs that the crew was composed almost entirely by women, who were recruited for their sex instead of their skill. It also avoids any mention of the audio record that shows that the accident happened because all the women got frozen in shock, not knowing how to act when the tanker told them to change their course, despite having plenty of time to avoid the accident. It also avoids any mention that the only reason the ship sunk was that all the women fled like chickens instead of taking quick measures to stop the water entering the ship. As a result, the Norwegian Navy lost 3 Billion dollars in the dumbest publicity stunt ever.

And it is a shame that all of this very important information is purposefully omitted from the main article, because this means that this tragic accident will be repeated again. We truly live in the dark ages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.58.30.189 (talk) 18:54, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Training of the U.S. Navy officer during the last 8 minutes before the accident

[edit]
  • What did the conning officer say in English, during the 8 minutes before the accident? (He was training an female U.S. Navy officer, at the time of the accident.)
  • The language for the operations on the bridge, is Norwegian. (Do the sources say to what degree he was using English language on the bridge, in the 8 minutes before the accident.)
  • Are there any sources that say that he ignored (his chores as a training officer while instructing) his trainee, during those first few minutes of the watch?
  • Do any sources explain those things? 2001:2020:303:EBFB:7CBD:4CF:9015:6E09 (talk) 20:02, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Court Case Section

[edit]
  • A verdict has been reached, an appeal has been filed
  • For improved readability this section needs to be condensed down to a few sentences.
  • If there is no objections I will do this in a while.
