Thirty crew members of the British destroyer Portland suffered from water pollution on board after the operation to track the ship "Admiral Gorshkov"

Sailors of the British Royal fleet were hospitalized after drinking "contaminated" water on their ship, writes the British edition of The Guardian, citing a Royal Navy spokesman.

We are talking about the sailors of the frigate HMS Portland, on which it was discovered that the "chemical" got into the ship's system to convert sea water into drinking water. After that, the ship headed to the naval base in Portsmouth.



A Navy spokesman said that as a precaution, after discovering a problem with one of the ship's desalination systems, he arrived at the base in Portsmouth, and some crew members were sent to the hospital.

According to the Telegraph, the “pollution” of water was influenced by the human factor and the perpetrator immediately admitted that he had made a mistake. About 30 crew members of the frigate HMS Portland were injured, the newspaper notes.

So far, there is no information about what kind of substance got into the water. At the moment, experts have begun an investigation and are on board the ship.

The Guardian recalls that HMS Portland left its home port in Plymouth on January 7 to track the Russian warship Admiral Gorshkov in the North Sea. It was after this operation that the problem suddenly manifested itself.

        Yes, it turns out that by the time the Zircon was launched, they were already rushing to Portsmouth. You have to think what else Putin came up with? I'm guessing a laser beam diarrhea infection. Variants ultra-low frequency acoustic radiation with PL, or electromagnetic radiation with ultra-fast frequency change

    About 30 members were injured.
    Only 30 people. became thirsty during this period and this saved the crew from general poisoning, which was probably accompanied by diarrhea.
    the “pollution” of water was influenced by the human factor and the perpetrator immediately admitted to it
    What honest sailors in the Royal Navy - he screwed up and immediately admitted his guilt for sending part of the crew to a hospital bed. I hope Russia should not wait for another diplomatic demarche - during the execution of a combat mission to escort a Russian ship, 30 sailors partially lost their health. The British government demands that Russian ships not be sent to our waters in order to avoid a repetition of the incident.

    Now it's very interesting, but I don't understand shit. It's one thing to sip water from a distiller during long journeys, another thing - they jumped out of the port, were on duty with their tail behind the enemy - and back. Did they take a supply of drinking water? Maybe grub too, gulls caught and ate? Fuck - in the ocean, besides water, there are still fish, the point is not to take grub - exactly the same as water.
    Just desalinated water is most often a distillate. And he is, strictly speaking, poison. You have to add salt to it. Apparently, the ship's chemist poured some kind of rat instead of salts. However, the question is the same - did they always take water?!

      This means that the crew is large, and there is always little water on the "warriors", they launch a distiller. Desalination is a phase transition of the first kind (water changes its state of aggregation from liquid to gaseous back), boiling occurs at 80 degrees Celsius. If you are near the shore, then all the bacteria at this temperature remain in the water - diarrhea is guaranteed. Neutralization of water occurs with bactericidal lamps, with a limited resource (if not replaced on time, get diarrhea), well, you must add mineral salts to drink this water (distillate is harmful to bones and teeth)
      Well, all the sailors who worked on fishing vessels are well aware of this.

        In general, boiling water for 1-2 minutes completely destroys bacteria (survival rate). Something to see with salts. And in general, in front, he is very similar to 'Hetman Sagaidachny

    After distillers, fresh water turns out to be so fresh that it doesn’t even conduct current. No matter how good it is, 4 mechanics add salt to the water, but this must be strictly dosed. And he probably did it according to the principle, and so it will do, poured in with a margin. If you drink clean water after that, you can feel the taste and it’s immediately clear that something is wrong here. But it comes with experience. there will never be. This taste after cooking is disguised. Something the impudent people have a complete degradation of the crews. Either they try to drown the avik through the fire system (this is generally nonsense), then when leaving the base on the same avik, they straighten the propeller-rudder group. Yes, so they become for repairs for half a year. Now they are poisoning each other. We’ll drink everything, but we won’t disgrace the fleet. This is not about them.

          We, as super Atlantics, appeared in 1984, they began to strictly follow this. There is drinking water, only from a desalination plant, and at the BMRT one had to swallow distillate.
