Sinking of the F69

[Noadisawsum]

Haha f 69696969

[ChrosymaticSoundz]

thumbs up if u muted this video

[snowybaz]

theres something wrong here.

note to self:

never make a vid with scenes of babies and sinking ships accompanied by french sounding wind instruments. execution videos are less disturbing.

[TheTruthHurtsYup]

creepy shit. this whole vid i creepy shit, specially that baby, holy fuck. 

[supressorgrid]

Put 30 thousand tons of steel onto the bottom of the sea, and then fine you for not using the recycle bin for your beer cans.

[piecaptain991]

WHEN IT EXPLODED IT LOOKED LIKE A FUCKING FIREWORK DISPLAY!

[LetsFri]

Wow.... I am going to take My familie too Next time to show them How We think in the W. Isnt that fun Poloting Our Oceans and Poisening Our water.. Wow We really are Clever... Why havent i ever take my children to see the Destruction of our world!!??!?

[Hahnchen121]

@LetsFri ..actually its really good for the reefs and marine life...

[niteelfrouge]

@LetsFri

this type of thing helps........ ships that are no more in service gets the oil and every thing else that is harmful to the environment removed.........gets pulled out to somewhere.....sunk to provide a new home to many marine life and making a new coil reef

[BlackChrome2020]

@LetsFri Get a life loser, and learn a thing or two, stop being so dramatic - frigate is all steel, it will rust away, its simply giving back to nature what we dug out, no pollution, nothing bad. Plus this will become a reef for many various fish species, so its a win-win for the environment.

[supercrank85]

this is wastet metal ...

She was formerly HMS Bacchante of the Royal Navy and I was lucky enough to stay onboard her some 38 years ago when I was a boy in the sea cadets, I was attached to Bacchante SCC when I was just 14 years old, At least she hasnt been turned into razor blades! An artificial reef is a great end to a great ship.

[zythepsarian]

have a good rest old girl, be a nice artificial reef in your next life

[sasoriXxxXsmexy]

ummm... :s great song choice....

[sharky53198]

i saw that show on tv, it was awsome, it was in HD

[dallaspolo]

Loved the Clarinet Music with this video

[KG84C]

Homeless people ? Probably not the best value for money for homeless people, but good for hobo squids

[loadedsocks]

why does this have such a low rating

[SmaranM]

wish it could have been donated to the homeless...

[AmphibiousFries]

is it rly like a sorte of thing for sea creature home????

[giashot]

lol the baby face at 2:13

[arikat1]

ok you got me into this music now....song pls?

[Bielocke]

Guess ships like these got rid of any poluting ellements that could the living creatures in the sea, right?

[KG84C]

Something disturbing about it, but I'm laughing my ass off, mad absurd but fun.

[VideoGamePlayer12]

Dang whyd they sink it i woulda taken it...

[samipso]

It's a sort of donation to nature. It provides a new home to many animals.

[koko440]

yup,

some sea tiny creatures find it perfect to habitat these things

[SSPoseidon846]

and a great diving attraction

[Viking445]

@samipso not to mention a new Dive Site!

[101327]

@BluesDices

Sigh..............

Thousands? Really? The charges used to sink theses ships are very small. The hull is pre-weakened so less explosives are required.

Oh, and fuck the fish. Care about something that matters.

[1bigtarget]

@BluesDices 101227 is right they dont use that much explosive to sink these ships the hull is cut in a way that pre weakens the ship alot they use minimal amount of explosives maybe 100 pounds on a big ship and 100lbs is evn more than useuall

[Nick9564]

uhm.....

[Gartenriese87]

this video has some nightmarish style to it. creepy!

[CampKohler]

I can just hear the admiral in charge saying, "You do realize, captain, that that was the wrong ship you just sank?"

[asdfafs]

that music playing, babies laughing, and a fucking ship exploding and sinking... my soul is melting

[vitorsanta]

@asdfafs LMAO!

[eckocute]

@asdfafs hahahaha

[xser47]

@asdfafs Funniest comment ever.

[ut000bs]

One of the most surreal videos I've ever seen.

[limpiomott2]

And Governments tell US to recycle...yeah Right!!

[Guyver89]

Our new ships are recyclable but the old ones like this guy had to be sunk. Also the ships are sunk in shallow water for strategical purposes. Such as an enemy ship enters the area and hits the sunk ship damaging the enemy's

[toomuchockey]

also less military then it become a historical sight for marine life and things like scuba diving

[ergiel]

This ship will become a start to a new reef, home for many fishes and other animals. These are only ecomorons telling us bullsh.. all over

[spitgalore]

Was it a controlled "scuttling" to make an artificial reef? I don't recognize the configuration of the ship. What was it? Thanks.

[fetufab]

has the nz navy got any ships left now?

[Cenosillicaphobia]

hahah i think one might be floating around in wellington bay somewhere haha

[theguy776]

a few

[superfar2]

watch zeitgeist and 7/7 ripple effect

[frogjezz]

cute baby

[CampKohler]

Why did they sink it? No scrap value? Fish reef? Bad hair day?

[Tim0Philip0bv]

its now a diving spot

[FritzleHamster]

Blubb Blubb :-)

[veleiroasterix]

this song are brazilian... very sweet.. come from the early XX century.

[HerlexAnderSama]

[gnookergi]

これわ日本じゃない。

[Maux93]

れ本わゃないじ日こ

[l0b022]

Hey i wwatched it go down in Houghton Bay!

[eyesofevilband]

it was the little kid who had planted some c4 on the ship and then blew it because he is kool

xD

[mccullar05]

Cute boy...Ah yes a beautiful day sinking ships

[Zaktan12]

i liked the music XD

[rousis14]

who else besides me LOVED the music? Ahah! =D

[rickyperson]

Aw! Cute little kid! :p

[rooney62danny]

why not save it it would make a great restoration project on eBay lol ! ! ! !

[zongo9]

It was sunk so as to be a Scuba Diving tourist type attraction. New Zealand had just bought some new Warships for its navy and thus the HMNZS Wellington F69 frigate was sunk as a 'scuba attraction' after a number of other options-selling it,scraping it had been explored. M <

[tintin20001967]

Good playing on the clarinet.

[novix411]

no sound, that's a pity

[pesawattempurku]

The ship was haunted

[planeguy51]

Baby Sam sure is a cute little tyke.

[pshisbey]

Never seen a ship go down horizontal before - like a sub diving. Cool.

[Classicblast]

There's a few reasons to sink old ships. Sometimes it's a way of disposting it. It can provide an artificial reef for sea life and othertimes the old ship is used as a target to test Navy equipment. Most envionmental concerns are addressed before hand. With scrap metal at a high value now days there might not be as many ships being sunk as targets. PS a beautiful kid in this video too.

[saltydog45]

Yeah,it cost a lot,and takes a lot to cut a ship up ( many years repairing them including this one ).But the old Leanders were full of Asbestos in the boilers,so removal would have been impossible as it was structuraly part of the boiler.Oh,and we are talking in the tons in weight amount.

[Rekuja]

whyd they sink it

[genpershing]

A fitting end for a proud fighting ship. Cute kid, too.

[tygo429]

Nothing says "I Love You" quite like a sinking ship,BLUB BLUB.

[RampinUp46]

Damn.
