Only if its outside of Canadian Waters, and the pollution more or less stays out.
Navy_Pete said:Has anyone seen a press release about the damage? I haven't seen anything official out yet, or about the tow.
Just curious if its actually been released, or if the reporter got it from the grapevine. Assuming the quote from Lt(N) Mendies was from some kind of press conference.
Mostly wondering what's out in public domain, never sure why this kind of thing isn't better communicated and explained.

cupper said:I'd be interested to know the lessons learned that develop from this, and what changes may result in the design aspects of the new vessels coming down the line.
I know there were significant changes in ship design made after the Kootenay fire in '69 as a result of the investigation and after action reports.
Unfortunately the engineering world learns more from it's failures than it's successes. Fortunately in this case there was no loss of life.
Bravo Zulu to the Captain and Crew. I know from my father's experience on the Kootenay that they were fighting for their lives, and were more than ready to meet the challenge.
jollyjacktar said:Both fleets, west and east coast. I imagine allies will also be interested too. We learn from other's experiences as well.
dapaterson said:More important will be the lessons learned for damage control & what gets trained. That will benefit the entire fleet.
suffolkowner said:I wonder what will become of the crew. Will they be spread out through the fleet? Released? They should be rewarded.
