This is the embarrassing moment a Royal Navy minesweeper crashed into another after an apparent mechanical failure left officers unable to stop it reversing, the latest in a string of incidents that have left Navy chiefs red-faced in recent weeks. In a gaffe that could compromise UK operations in the Gulf at a crucial time, HMS Chiddingfold reversed into HMS Bangor, which was docked at a port in Bahrain. The accident ripped a huge hole in the hull, which is constructed of glass reinforced plastic. There was internal damage but no injuries.
