Like A Lamb to The Slaughter
9 Feb 2018 3 Comments
On 8th February 2018, three Turkish Navy tugs towed the hulk of an old tanker ex- TCG Bnb. Sadettin Gürcan to the Black Sea.
The tanker was named after the commander of the submarine TCG Atılay that sunk with all hands in 1942. She hit a mine while submerged and never resurfaced.
The tanker was laid down at Gölcük Naval Shipyard in 1968 and commissioned in 1970. She served till 2016.
As there are no shipbreakers in the Black Sea and the markings on the hull of ex- TCG Bnb. Sadettin Gürcan is consistent with a target, she will be used in a sinking exercise.

It reads: Like a LAMB to the Slaughter.
Yes indeed. I have corrected my mistake. Thank you for pointing it. I should stop posting past midnight.
