HMS Argyll Rescues Crew From Blazing Ship

In the heavy seas, the orange lifeboat – “just like the one in Captain Phillips, was bobbing around like a cork in a bathtub,” said Lt Cdr Dave Tetchner, HMS Argyll’s Weapon Engineer Officer. “The conditions were horrendous – the vessels were rolling at 30 degrees which made it extremely hairy getting the sailors safely on board. Royal Marines were on the ropes hauling people up, the sea boat was pushing the lifeboat against Argyll.”
