Excellent work Navy!!
Interview of the diver typical hero very modest and it was his day off!!
Typical of today British registered and foreign crew. Except for the Scots lad.

Bravo Zulu to all our lads involved. (Negative perspiration - just did it!)
Glad to see/hear that all references to the rescue team on BBC were accentuated as ROYAL Navy. Perhaps they have taken note of my bleat to them about not using the full title! (some hopes).

Sky managed an interview with the CO of 771 NAS with what looked like the crews of the two SAR cabs lined up. Must have seen chieftiff's post above.
Good point the BBC made about the SAR divers. We want the BBC (and all media) on our side.

'Lads' I thought the English language no longer contained masculine or feminine - well the great unwashed refere to everybody as 'guys' .......weird
Well done to all the 'lads' (and cos I'm an 'awld bugger' who don't understand these things - 'lasses' too) of the team - no matter which part!
Looks like the crew panicked and abandoned ship too soon, made the job harder! After all your ship is your best life boat!

Really? The cadet interviewed spoke of a "crack" in the hull. Given the nature of cracks and the unannounced nature and speed of their propagation the old man probably gave the right order. A crack isn't just a hole letting in water that can be pumped overboard. The Captain would have considered the opinion of the Chief Engineer (a man or woman who knows something about the strength of materials, fatigue failure and material stress. Do you?
If the hull failure went catastrophic the crew wouldn't have a chance to get off in an orderly fashion. Just because it didn't doesn't make it the wrong decision. As you are a former MN Chief Officer, I thought you'd be more sympathetic.

The MCA held a press conference this afternoon chaired by Robin Middleton, the Secretary of State's Representative for Maritime Salvage and Intervention. He said that Napoli had a vertical crack in the shell plate on each side.
Do you still think the crew panicked Chief Officer safewalrus?
BBC News
The suggestion being that this is the second time Napoli has ran aground. It isn't. It has been beached this time, not the same thing. Furthermore it was owned by a different company when it grounded. Journos! :evil:
The MAIB have begun a preliminary investigation.
