    Did any of you guys see the pictures of the bulker that had a sevear hog due to wave action? The pict was taken in europe someplace and included one or 2 of the ship in drydock.

    I need to find those if anyone knows where they are.

    Thanks....K9

    Looks good Missy Lee! What's the grey one with lots of guns? Looks like a Loch Class with extra bits!! But I don't recognise the pennent number (I do but not on a Loch)

    Hi Safie, these guys all build "to lifelike" of existing vessels, sometimes with a bit of "licence". Can you identify them? (the green monster was seen on the Mekong some time ago - I think it was referred to as a "slow moving target"?)

    Kay9,

    More info, please. Was this a recent event? There were many pictures of Pasha Bulker, a bulker whose hull hogged after going aground during a storm. That was about 6 months ago in Australia. More recently the container ship MV Napoli suffered hogging damage during a storm. She was towed and deliberately grounded off the SE coast of the UK. If it's another incident, some details will help to identify the vessel and incident.

    I think it was the Pasha Bulker....All I really remember is the picture of it in the drydock with the very large hog in her.

    Once she was salvaged and had temporary repairs made locally, she was towed to somwhere in Asia for repairs. I haven't seen any photos in drydock, but this photo taken after she was refloated shows the hogging pretty clearly.
