rank | Thu Aug 27 20:36:32 US navy destroyer broke down US navy destroyer adrift in South China Sea for four days after losing power USS Benfold lost power after ‘engineering casualty’ leaving sailors without galley services, toilets and air conditioning A US guided-missile destroyer reportedly spent four days adrift and without power in the South China Sea in July, furthering concerns about strain being placed on deployed military members. The USS Benfold, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer which had been sailing with the George Washington carrier strike group, was reported to have been towed to Subic Bay in the Philippines, according to the US Naval Institute News, an independent military publication. The 10,000-ton destroyer lost power after what a spokesperson with the US seventh fleet called “an engineering casualty involving its generators”, resulting in a loss of power. That loss of power meant sailors were without galley services, toilets and air conditioning, Commander Matthew Comer told USNI News in a statement. Another vessel, USS Robert Smalls, the cruiser attached to the strike group, had to help provide meals for the crew. https://ww...navy-destroyer-south-china-sea This is what happens when a country is run by a pedo mafia. |

rank | Fri Aug 28 07:59:21 Dummy gets scale wrong yet again. AC is good for a few weeks a year. Getting more needed fast for global warming reasons. I used mine exactly once this year (AC functionality is incredibly common here as heatpumps are widespread). As for being trapped on a steel vessel under those conditions. A complete nightmare. You are very dumb. |
