    [QUOTE=MeJasonT;133419]I worked on a rock dumping vessel with an ROV, we were sent home whilst the ship went to the quarry for more rocks. The ship hit an underwater mountain in the Norwegian fjords, capsized and sank with the loss of half its crew. A few years the ship was recovered and the 3 ton ROV was still strapped to the deck with 2 ton ratchet straps.
