Yes,Phamtom53,yesterday she altered her course in vicinity of Finisterre and was some hours at very low speed southeast course and making some circle.It seems to me that she was fixing or repairing something on board,but never out of command.
Best regards

Yes i noticed that deviation, and agree it was to have time to repair the problem to make it home to Southampton, and I suspect to make longer and lasting repairs.

We already have one of their wrecks in port, Honor, which had a fire on board in the Channel on 24 February and returned to Southampton, and in June 2015, Courage suffered the same fate which lead to her scrapping.  Seems to me they are not doing very well...

I did not look it up timewise, but slowing down for a while and making a circle can also be simple a man over board manoeuvre in conjunction before or after with manual steering from the rudder engine room.
NOW!!!,,,if we could get rid of the sailors,,how safe shipping would be !!!!!!!!
