Then you know what I'm talking about. One of the places we stopped was Cameroon.
I was 1 of those 20 people. They tell me and another mechanic "We want you to take a look at the engines on one of their ships". I get down there and find out that this diesel has been torn apart for about 5 years. I ask the guy where all the parts are and he starts lifting up deckplates and there are piles and piles of engine parts.
I think someone higher up than me failed miserably during that whole planning phase.
The Cameroon Navy:
