Unlucky ships?
 
Two small passenger ferries that have never sailed with passengers since being built

It does seem like everyone who touched them since they left the yards has just poured money down the drain

Looks like everything involved needs to be used for torpedo or SSM practice... or sold off to the DPRK. :D

Rossaveal's a nice spot to run aground, though ;)

Dunno if I'd want to be the one to risk firing torpedoes...she'd be just as likely to Sidon... :doh:
