How does a US Navy ship collide with a Phippine Merchant ship at 2:30 in the morning?
The Merchant ship is over 700' long. The Navy ship is over 500' long.
The US Navy ship is a friggin' Destroyer! Destroyers should not be running in to Merchant ships in the middle of the night!!!
Was their Radar not working? Were their Lights not working?
Was their Fog Horn not working?
Were their Guns not working?
I mean Phillipine Merchant Ships run into things all the time, but US navy ships? I thought they saw things coming from miles away.
Seven Sailors are missing! How does this happen?
There is gonna be a lot of Disciplinary Action here. Starting at the TOP!
UPDATE! more Bad News...
this is So wrong!

an old swabbie tells me that if your boat or ship gets hit on the starboard (right) side then that is your fault for not giving the right of way to the other ship.
