Don’t know where this came from, or when it happened, but it looks like someone’s coast guard is going to have to spend more than they expected to get that cutter.

gCaptain has another “interesting” launch here. http://gcaptain.com/ship-launch-fail-mystery-solved
This time it a NOAA vessel at Marinette Marine.
I’m guessing those are not the Naval engineers in the foreground.
Did not a similar thing happen to Healy’s launch?
I have seen a couple of videos of bad launches using those rubber rollers and it seems like they don’t provide proper support once they start moving. They often move off to one side or the other and force the ship off of an even keel.
They seem like a cheap way of supporting the ship but don’t provide the proper support once the ship is moving and is halfway into the water.
Looks like the guy in the royal blue coveralls has an Indonesian flag shoulder patch.
This is certainly an Indonesian vessel – possibly for Bakorkamla.
