4000 tons, 100m long, and it was lost for two weeks!
- krisoft 2y agoJust based on the wikipedia page it doesn't sound like it was lost? "After the ship's seizure the Malta Maritime Authority stated that the security committee—composed of Maltese, Finnish and Swedish authorities—were aware of the ship's location at all times, but withheld the information to protect the crew." Certainly a murky situation but doesn't feel like it demonstrates the complexity of finding a ship. Sounds like right away once someone wanted to find the ship they could find the ship no problem. Presumably using Synthetic Aperture Radar satellites and then the frigate's own radar.
