Yes; date not known, but Taluga was consolidating with Navasota on Yankee Station, prior to returning to Subic Bay. Navasota to port, Noa to starboard when Navasota experienced an engineering casualty in their after-steering. Navasota first collided with Taluga where AVGAS Rig (almost always transferring during consols) was located. Noa, ignoring emergency breakaway protocol, went all ahead flank with all lines and hoses still connected; was subsequently pulled into Taluga and ripped about a quarter million in ECM gear off. Hoses and wires on both sides naturally ripped apart on all rigs except Rig 4. Thanks to a few heroes whose professionalism exceeded anybodys expectations Taluga, Navasota and Noa were back on station and completing their consol/replenishment in just under an hour.
