Ok, please correct me if I am wrong, but aren't minesweepers special purpose ships equipped with sensitive, clutter-piercing sonar designed to locate even small objects in shallow coastal waters?
Apparently this model had that pesky defect that prevents it from working when it is not turned on.
Spectacular (albeit embarassing) photos!

We must respect the crew!!

Do you think they were too fast and unwatchful? No indeed, they were very watchful, they wanted to jump over the rock, but did not have enough speed
