Their is nothing embarrassing about it
A few months ago even the British Astute Class Attack Sub ran aground

 

[LEGENDARY WARRIOR]

Not only sub, a British frigate HMS Brazen also went aground near Chile. Whats embarrasing in it???

 

[Vibs]

What's emabrassing is not the fact that it got grounded. But the fact that it got grounded in disputed oceans very close to Manila and the fact that it was placed there as part of an aggressive patrolling effort by China.

Lack of skill?

Lack of skill?

I don't think so... Accidents like these have been seen before

Small blunders happen everywhere... Even the US:

Erm....you don't get it do you? It IS lack of skill, no matter where it happened.
And if you are the captain or the man at the steering wheel at that time, running a ship aground puts a nice little dent or a black dot in your career file.

O wauw, i see you posted links from carrier ops....insecure much? Are you aware of the difference between piloting a plane/helicopter and a ship? Ship isn't so easy to crash/have an accident with like plane/helicopter.

But since....all you wanted is to snug up to the Chinese with your post saying "look it happens in the US too", you kindly ignored that. Selective much?

Accidents like this happen, there is no reason for anyone to get court martial.

Well, some people dont fare pretty well behind the wheels... this kinda reinforces the funny stereotype...

 

[Roybot]

Taking the "Asians can't drive" stereotype to a whole new level

 

[GR!FF!N]

so..how they are planning to retrieve it???they should do it fast or Philippines will get a free frigate from China as the site is well within Philippines EEZ..

 

[Lacus Clyne]

you can write anything without a real picture.

took the words out of my mouth

Did that chap confuse the frigate with a landing dockship?

Waiting for other sources, smh is a tabloid.

You guys don't understand Chinese gov at all
if it is really a accident， state media won't spread this news actively cause it's a shame of navy
If you check the reef where the frigate run aground, you will find it's very near Palawan Island

This incident is a kind of strategy, Half moon reef will be controlled by China from now on.
