A photo of the tanker “Valery Gorchakov” in Rostov, which was hit on December 18th.
As a result of the strike, the navigation bridge was damaged, the engine room also received holes, and a compartment caught fire. Two crew members were killed: 200: a cook and a third mechanic. 300: a senior assistant to the captain and two sailors.
As can be seen from the photo, the stern of the ship sank below the water level due to the holes.
I’m not an expert, but I don’t think this one’s doing any tankering any time soon.
Well, at least the front didn’t fall off
Is that normal?
