Not sure if this was posted on AW before or not, I haven't seen it.

This kind of stuff gives me nightmares...


BTW, the translation is German Navy Crash/Accident.
 
Seen it on youtube.
Note: They are blasting the Austin Powers theme song at the end of the video...
Hilarious
 
Type 143A Gepard class Fast attack Craft

I wonder whose brilliant idea this was.
 
I guess when you are unwilling to do any real fighting in Afghanistan your military has to get it's adrenaline fix somehow.

Using the old grading system, +1 for comms (the theme music), UNSAT for shiphandling, and UNSAT for SA = net -3 below overall :)


I remember similar shiphandling (minus the paint exchange) by some German corvettes playing OPFOR during a NATO short cruise a few years ago. They seemed to be driving them like motorboats. It was fun for us to watch from the flight deck but it made our SWOs, ah, a little nervous (something about another vessel disappearing from view of the bridge under your own bow). It seemed to get the NATO Admiral's attention enough to send a special "non-exercise" safety message too...
 
I understand how we aviators occasionally trade paint, but how the hell do SWOs do it? "Oh my god! Impact is imminent, we only have 20 seconds!"
