Update: 8:33 PM Eastern -

We received additional information about what struck the ship as well as the location of the attack. The Strinda was hit by a land-based cruise missile about 60 nautical miles north of the Bab el-Mandab. No one was injured in the attack and no U.S. vessels were near it when the attack occurred, a U.S. official tells us.

nobody was hurt!

good news there at least, get rekt boat

An American official to Al Jazeera:
The missile attack occurred near Bab al-Mandab and resulted in damage to the ship flying the Norwegian flag

- There was no American warship present during the Houthi missile attack

The US destroyer Mason responded to a distress call from the targeted ship

Perhaps speng could take this opportunity to clarify this rule, I know they love rules.

sure - I thought the situation was clarified pretty well by zodium already, but i am always happy for some rules clarification.

first of all, al saqr is not under attack for "tone neutral combat updates" so idk where that idea came from. at least not as far as i know. im sure the mods probably see all kinds of crazy reports that i dont know about. but just from my standpoint that obviously doesnt violate any rules.

as far as beyond that - posting gore and death is obviously off limits - and when posting any combat footage at all you are better off linking to it behind a content warning or not posting it at all. posting it inline with no CW will probably get you a sixer, or more if you accidentally miss a few frames of something more graphic and it gets reported.

finally - and this depends heavily on context - generalized bloodlust is against the rules. this is irrespective of posting NWS content. this isn't being assessed based on a value judgment of whether the bloodlust in question is cool or good or justified, it's just against the rules because it will make the thread into gbs aids garbage that gets gassed.

hope that clears it up

PS I will brutally annihilate anyone who seems to be just constantly complaining about being forced to work within these rules, especially if you add some stupid poo poo about how not being able to post certain types of content is hurting the palestinian cause or whatever. it's an internet forum and these are just rules to stop the thread from getting gassed. not praxis.

The thread has been mostly cool and chill. I like the news updates from our goon posting friends in the middle east who speak Arabic, and Hebrew, and the posts laughing at IDF soldiers pooping in their diapers.

This is also the only place where no one is trying to justify Israels actions. Holy poo poo has it been an exhausting two months.

also this page on it features the phrase "ARMS GUARDS ONBD"

https://help.fleetmon.com/en/articles/5151124-what-does-armed-guard-on-board-mean

quote:

Sending "Armed Guard Onboard" in the AIS

Vessels transiting a Piracy High-Risk Area will often send "Armed Guard Onboard" as the Destination in the AIS. This deterrent measure might prevent pirates from knowing their real destination (whether the ship has armed guards onboard or not). The pirates might re-evaluate their plans to attack a vessel. Another benefit: The AIS can stay switched on increasing Maritime Security. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) recommends that the AIS remains active during a piracy event as a safety precaution to allow the counter-piracy naval forces in the area to track the positions of vessels in real time. But the IMO also states that the master can disable the AIS at their discretion if the voyage is threatened or before a piracy event occurs.

Interesting...

i am fine with cfombat footage not being posted here, you can go find it all over the internet. thank you.

Asking people to seek out combat footage without knowing what they're asking for or getting into is probably the absolute worst suggestion of all time, they'll be led to sites like liveleak or some poo poo. The still image Al-Saqr posted is absolutely tame compared to the blurred images mainstream media shows, let alone Al Jazeera Arabic or English.
