I find it equally amazing that they raised it from the ocean bottom and put it back into service.

yea, that was my first thought. well, apparently it was in shallow waters in the straight of hormuz.
i suspect what they did is to have an underwater team patch the damage, pumped out the seawater from the body of the ship, then the ocean itself would lifted the ship from the bottom. followed by a more extensive repair at shipyard of choice.

A bit confusing post. Is it about supertankers in general, or only about the one that started it's career as "The Seawise Giant"?
If it's the latter, then #19 #20 and #21 is another ship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batillus). The others seem to be the right one. She changed name several times.

#3 I have to say this:
There was never such a thing as a "Brontosaurus."
Don't believe me? Look it up.
