This terrifying video recorded by the crew of the ship shows the breaking of the vessel in two which eventually sank. The ship was built in 1975 and plying in Turkish water during the time of the incident which happened on 17th Jan 2021. pic.twitter.com/bShS5DvLaM

Trying to remember but I think 6 mariners died while 12 were rescued.  Question. With small amphibious warships, how will we conduct rescue ops in a dispersed environment with 75 Marines in the water along with the crew...forget the equipment loss.

How do you save those souls if they eat a missile or suffer some type of catastrophic damage to their ship while operating alone? 

Forget logistics, we need flying boats just to be able to rescue our people if stuff goes sideways.  It's hard enough in peacetime, in war its looking damn near impossible especially if you're "operating within the enemies engagement zone".
