Wreck location unknown? edit
Am I reading the article correctly? The wreck's actual location is unknown? --Ragemanchoo (talk) 05:01, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, officially the location of sinking seems to be unknown (maybe due to improper communications about her poition), as well as the wreck's location. There are but rumors concerning a picture of a mititary satellite - not very appropriate for the article. -- Wasabi (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 16:48, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Speculation? edit
Within the Investigation section, the passage "Whilst ploughing through the storm..." onwards is surely pure speculation? -- Pollykisveny (talk) 18:44, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
Unsinkable edit
"The exceptional flotation capabilities of the LASH carriers meant that she was widely regarded as being practically unsinkable." Is there some list of ships that are considered unsinkable or practically unsinkable now? Because I don't ever want to set foot on these vessels!
Seriously though, are ships often considered unsinkable and only after they've sunken is this a factoid that becomes interesting or has nobody been so bold as to call a ship unsinkable after this went so horribly wrong with the Titanic but it's made up nonetheless after the fact because it's such a nice story to see unsinkable ships sink? I mean after all there are probably few ships built today for which the engineers say "Oh yeah, it floats ... for now but better don't get into some kind of heavy wheather." --Mudd1 (talk) 21:07, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
builder edit
Both sisterships BILDERDIJK and MÜNCHEN were built by the shipyard Cockerill Yards in Hoboken (near Antwerp) in Belgium. BILDERDIJK as yard no. 859, MÜNCHEN as yard no. 860. After bankruptcy of Cockerill Yards in 1982, the yard was taken over by Boelwerf from Temse. So BILDERDYK was not built by Boelwerf. Cockerill-Sambre, mentioned as builder of the MÜNCHEN, was not the shipyard, but was a steel factory in Liège (Belgium). Source: I worked in Cockerill Yards at that time.
