Did find this online. . . .

Fleet Tug Sotoyomo (YT-9) is sunk in floating drydock YFD-2, but that was Feb 15 of 1946.

Cassin was blown off during Pearl Harbor attack, wasn't she? Will spend a bit looking up possible others.

It's the only one that springs to mind. Didn't she fall onto USS Downes which was next to her at the time?

Judging form your last line I might not have been only one drinking. I do have an excuse. Christmas/birthday party at work.

How about just a list of what the random mishaps maybe. I am kinda jinxed and have a wonderful ability to have that lucky roll. This way I could keep a running tab on Norm's Shipyard Mishaps.[:D]

It would be a nice Christmas/Birthday gift.

There is no specific list of "events". The items I mentioned were the rationale. It is just random additional damage, that might be enough (combined with existing damage) to cause the ship to sink. Damage to facilities is also possible.

[NormS3]

That's the way I remember reading it.

[NormS3]

Sorry was reading to much into your response. Please keep up the great work and forgive me for interrupting you.[&o]

....ships falling off blocks in drydock (for two points, name that ship)...[snip]

USS Stewart fell off her blocks in the drydock at Surubaya (as opposed to Cassin which was blown off by a bomb)

[NormS3]

Kind of funny I missed that considering I was just asking about captured ships being in AE. 

[spence]

Are there "events" at sea too? The IJN nearly lost Ise and Hyuga on the same GUNEX in the spring of 1942 - one (can't remember which had what) had a gun blow up and the the fires nearly reached the magazines...on the other, some serious flooding including a fireroom and engineroom (something tells me these two had been on somebody's list to be replaced for a fair while but somehow they could never found the money to make it happen).

And then there's Mutsu that just up and blew up one day.

Two points! That's the one I had in mind.

I should have cited HMS Valiant in a floating drydock at Ceylon. The drydock (AFD-23, one of the big ones) collapsed under her. Valiant had to go home for repairs and AFD-23 was a total loss.

[NormS3]

Like the Japanese Navy really needs any further help with their damage control[;)]

[NormS3]

Didn't know about HMS Valient. Just another reason I've been reading here for the past 2 1/2 years. I feel that I learn something new everytime I visit.

I'd say they need quite a bit...

Alright! Two points [8D] Maybe I should add that into my sig line [:D]

Valiant totally slipped my mind, even though I read about that only a few days ago (I've slept since then) [8|] IIRC AFD23 broke it's back in that accident.

[Terminus]

I think I'd break my back too if a battleship fell on me...[:D]

maybe...

Thanks just teh deatil I wanted and very very happy to see.[&o][&o]

"Complete loss of a ship is possible but would be very (very, very) rare."


Forgive me, but is this to be considered very, very rare as in a magazine explosion?

Hopefully, it will be even more rare...

Other end of the universe. A Mutsu type event is not really modeled - we made no attempt to incorporate one-up or very rare events into routine processing.

What you do get is an occasional chance of an event during repairs that increases damage. If you get an event, there is an occasional chance that it might be severe. And, if a ship is already badly damaged, the additional damage may cause her to sink.

But, just to whet your appetite, there are events for ships at sea. The point-or-two-of-systems-damage has a dark side. Collision, grounding, engine failure, running out of grog…

And cargo handling events, too. Damage from booms or cranes collapsing (including loss of cargo), fuel or oil lines breaking, fires, such things. Rare, rare, rare, but play enough and you will see it.

In fact, you would probably have to play for years before you see all the new messages…

" In fact, you would probably have to play for years before you see all the new messages… "

I think that one can expect those of us WITP plankholders who are still here to be doing just that!

Oh, and when I was talking about a magazine explosion, I was not thinking of the spontaneous type like the Mutsu, but rather the seemingly prevalent one we see in combat in WITP.

do we get a message then for those events or is it just like a cargo suddenly with 73 sys dam losing his load?
