I've taken part in a few of these. Usually great fun (although one was extremely traumatic for all the wrong reasons) |

Doesn't sound too good… The following video shows what you definitely don't want to happen in any sort of sinking exercise. it shows a ship being scuttled while technicians are still onboard. Quite a major failure in health and safety! YouTube link |

Where's your sense of adventure? It's just an opportunity to put all that training on abandoning ship into real live practice. All good fun, as long as everyone gets out okay. Nothing more than bruised egos, and getting a little wet. |

Well, that explains how the ship was still afloat after a torpedo attack… the torpedo blew up on the far side of the ship, doing minimal damage. If the torpedo had actually blow up under the center of the keel, there wouldn't have been any more target for anyone else. |
