The Ship That DEI Sank

Specifically, the HMNZS Manawanui, a ship which was designed to map the sea floor, which ran aground on a reef, caught fire, capsized, and sank.

As it happens, she was captained by a woman, who was also a lesbian. This would be fodder for jokes as it is, but the way the New Zealand government and media are treating it makes it that much more hilarious, and one can't help but wonder if there will be any kind of serious investigation into this accident (you know, the way there would be for a male captain) to find out what actually happened to make this ship meet with the most ironic fate ever.

Well DEI militaries will be easy to defeat.

Firstly SHE (SLAY KWEEN) is a ship captain and thus she knows a little more about captaining than you do pal, so don't do this mansplaining bullshit.

Secondly the ship did not 'run around on a reef, caught fire, capsize and sink', this is right wing propaganda and the investigation on the ship is still continuing. From fact-checked sources it seems the ship had a sudden and abrupt meeting with a large colony of polyp-creatures and their mineralized home, resulting in the ship spontaneously erupting (likely due to White supremacists onboard blaming the abrupt meeting on 'foreign polyps' ) while the ship leaned over to one side because it's a honkin chonker and needed belly rubs, and then settled on the bottom of the sea because it identified as a submarine.

Remember, CORRELATION DOES NOT MEAN CAUSATION! Correlation! *Claps* Does *Claps* Not *Claps* Mean *Claps* Correlation! *Claps*

She should not only get a promotion due to the conspiracy theories around this event, she should even get a medal for it!

You need to ban DEI in professional sports league: NHL, MLB, NBA, WNBA & NFL (who's got the Rooney Rule).
 
Sad. The odds are even more stacked against New Zealand now in my Versus thread...

Versus Match - Modern New Zealand versus Imperial Japan Invasion Force

As it says in the title. For whatever reason modern New Zealand finds itself ISOT'd to a magical realm of before time circa 1942 where Imperial Japan has managed to capture all of the Solomon Islands as well as New Caledonia, Fiji and Vanuatu following a successful Operation FS. NOW Imperial...

I think the most surprising thing about this to me is that I'm finding out New Zealand has a navy (well, okay, the King of England has a navy a small portion of which has been graciously allowed to be crewed by New Zealanders, whatever).

And, somewhat related as an American, it's refreshing to see someone else's navy personnel being incompetent and running ships aground and/or setting them ablaze. That's been the US Navy's schtick for a solid decade. While the Captain obviously bears final responsibility, I should think more direct responsibility would lie with the helmsman and/or navigator, which might not have been the captain (a fact I only bring up because one of the previous times a US boat collided with a shipping boat, it was due to the helmsman falling asleep on a night-watch whilst Captain was getting their snooze on).

Which makes sense. I mean, we are living after the end of history, after all (meaning it's not like they're ever going to be expected to fight a real war); so a competent military only serves as a threat to the ruling elites' power.

That.There would be always some invaders with semi-competent armies who come and take over degenerates.It happened in the past - Vandals take Africa with 85.000 people,including woman and children,and muslims take much more later with not much larger forces.
 
Ahem. There's some rather relevant facts y'all are having fun ignoring:

1. The ship didn't hit the reef because the crew wasn't maintaining navigational watch (as has been the case for the USN's multiple collisions), it hit the reef because it *lost power*.

2. As a survey ship, the ship *needed* to be close to the reef to do its job of mapping the harbor mouth hazards; this made it much more vulnerable to drifting in the current when losing power, whereas a ship on normal course would have had a greater margin.

3. Although Manawanui was owned and operated by the Royal New Zealand Navy, she was not built to military standards of redundancy and robustness. The RNZN had intended to purchase a military-grade survey ship, but were unable to afford one because of cost overruns on the modernization of the Anzac-class frigates; instead, they purchased a used oil and gas survey ship, the MV Edda Fonn.
 
I still can't believe this shit. Lesbian captain crashes surveying ship into a fucking reef, something that 90 IQ third world cargo-ship captains manage to avoid on a daily basis.

How the fuck does a collision with a reef even sink the damned thing? WW2 Destroyers and Cruisers hit torpedos, mines, reefs and other shit without being called a total loss. Ever heard of closing watertight bulkheads?

There should be a major inquiry on the capacity of female captains (that Scandinavian warship sank via similar negligence by a woman 'team' of commanders), and another major inquiry on the watertightness and capacity of damage of modern warships.
 
I love how this thread was bumped after five months with triggered questions that were at least in part addressed by the previous (last) post made in the thread.

Dude. See my above post; she was not a warship in any functional sense, she was a civilian-grade survey ship despite being owned and operated by the Royal New Zealand Navy.

And no amount of captaining can avoid hitting a reef when she's lost engines and has no steerage way.

Why did a modern military-run ship lose engines and steering? It's inexcusable. In any case civilian-grade or not she should have had a thourough refit to bring her up to a more durable standard.

It's corruption and DEI crap all the way down.

There's WW2 Liberty ships that were known to crack in half by themselves, who sustained more damage with greater reliability.

That would have been completely counterproductive; the government of New Zealand made the conscious decision to purchase a used, civilian-grade ship specifically to save money.
