Always a sad moment when a ship sinks, whether in war or peace.

A great loss, my Spanish is not that good so could only make out part of the story.
I assume all the crew were taken off first??

Re: Stellar Banner VLOC Sinking
Chris, imagine a ship during WW2 in a convoy and hit by a torp.
Going down that fast no one would stand a chance.
