Frigate on the rocks

`The navy’s newest $500 million warship was driven backwards on to Christmas Island after crew error caused computers to take control of the frigate.

A series of errors prompted the computer system to over-ride manual commands and the ship’s company had to stand by and watch as HMAS Ballarat backed on to the rocky shoreline.’

Well, atleast we’ve got some good submarines. Can’t run them aground if they don’t work in the first place. 🙂
