I was surprised to read reports of how much of the ship's water-tight integrity had been compromised by poor fitting of MCT's and other water-tight boundary penetrations. After hitting Wolf Rock she was lucky not to have been sunk. Lack of integrity is something that is regularly found in some civilian hulls but nevertheless surprising [for me] in an RN warship.

Can any one provide a link to the loss of Nottingham's Lynx due to lack of motion lotion?
A naval warship by its very name is more likely to suffer fire damage than a cruise liner (one hopes).
Were the bridge staff/watchkeepers not part of that ships company then.
A credit to the MEO, CMEM and the rest of the Ship's Company.
Why did the Captain have to go ashore with the sick rating other than to glad hand the local big wheel and add another place to his book of places I have visited. Then, he is the Captain and not part of the ships company.
Now we are just left with Slim's original question, "why did the Lynx run out of fuel"
