Back in 2007:
German minehunter Gromitz grounded in 2007
Missed this when it happened. Here’s a little more info:
German Navy Type 332 Frankenthal class mine hunter M106 Grömitz (built 1994) based in Kiel — will remain for some time on the rocks where it grounded in the night of Feb 21 off the harbor Floræ on way to Bergen. While hull remained so far undamaged in the grounding, the bunker fuel will have to be taken off before salvage. This probably will have to be undertaken by a sheerleg as a tug could cause hull damage when towing the ship off the rocks where Grömitz is stuck fast with its bow pointing to the sky. Cause of the grounding was said to be a navigational error, but the small island could possible not be detected by radar in snowy conditions. Ship was underway with other NATO-units within a mine hunting exercise. She was expected in Bremerhaven the forthcoming weekend but this is very unsure now.
T-Shirt of the Day:
“If I had a dollar for every time that capitalism was blamed for problems caused by government, I’d be a fat filmmaker with a baseball cap.”
Quite funny, but Murdoc wonders how many people even remember who Michael Moore is. And as far as Murdoc is concerned, he’s just that idiot who said the terrorists in Iraq were like the colonial America Minute Men. And that they’d win.
But hey, gotta pay for cheeseburgers somehow.

Glenn Reynolds on the apparently weak field of Republican presidential candidates:
Well, based on the past two years I’d vote for a syphilitic camel if he ran against Obama.
Happy Thanksgiving, MO readers!
Murdoc was running behind schedule for the feast and didn’t have luck finding the WKRP Turkey Drop video this morning, but here it finally is:
They seem to be getting better and better about finding these and pulling them down.
Hope all of you and your families have a great holiday and a great weekend.
