Just put the Mugford in for repairs at Pearl and noticed that under the section that says what she was last damaged by it says
'marine casualty'

Not seen this one before - anyone else

just another little nugget in this fabulous game

Like you, I could not even be annoyed at such a marvellous attention to detail to include random accidents like that.

Maybe it ran into the giant floating garbage patch. No plastics back then but major US cities were hauling the junk out to sea on barges and dumping it, so maybe it was old tires and half-empty corked bottles ...

Status: offline 		IRL the Iowa or one of her sisters hit a rock in Penobscot Bay and the Kaga "found" a rock near Kendari. Not sure what missions by Iowa (or her sister) might have been effected but Kaga did not go on the Indian Ocean Raid because of her damage and her speed was limited to 19 kts max in the latter stages of the DEI campaign. Hyuga had a turret or gun blow up which was never replaced and her sister Ise had an engine room flood at close to the same time which initially imperiled the ship (sounds like those two ships may have been scheduled at some point to be replaced by the Yamatos? - in the Coast Guard the Treasury Class 327's were at one point to be replaced by the 378' Hamiltons but ended up serving on active duty til the Hamiltons were due to be FRAM'd 25 years later). And then there is HIJMS Mutsu which blew up and was a total loss in 1943. I imagine the USN had some other significant capital ship casualties as well in WW2 but my knowledge of them is more limited. Marine casualties effecting mission capabilities are not that rare IRL. Since I formerly served on a 327' Treasury Class cutter I am familiar with the reporting of marine casualties to higher HQs.

Status: offline 		Some ships are just unlucky.

On 18 May 1940, HMS Effingham (Capt. John Montagu Howson, RN) was carrying the 2nd Battalion, South Wales Borderers, as well as other troops, from Ankenes to Bodo.

Traveling at 23 knots, outside the Norwegian Leads to minimize the risk of air attack, she was only 1 hour away from her destination when she struck a rock in the Fasken Shoal, near Harstad, between Briksvaer and Terra islands in position 67º17'N, 13º58'E.

Ironically, the rock was clearly marked on the navigational chart, but it had been obscured by the navigator's penciled track, and the ship was dead on course!

Luckily, there were no casualties, but the ship, impaled on the rock, flooded and could not be moved. She was declared a total loss.
