7 sailors missing from US Navy warship involved in collision, US admiral says

As a navy vet, this type of shit is unprecedented.......unbelievable....as big as the sea, and they didn't see each other? Somebody got some splaining to do and poor Obama will be blamed somehow....anybody want to place a bet?

Maybe it was dark?

Dear, I was in the Navy for 10 years and I'm very familiar with this carrier....trust me, you have watch, a look out to avoid collisions like this and I'm 1000 percent sure, both ships had look outs...this is something that should never ever ever ever happen. As a matter of fact, there are countless warning systems aboard both ships to detect anything within a certain rage of your space....somebody wasn't paying attention.

What a moron.
It wasnt a carrier which is pretty obvious from the pics and the article.
And those warning systems as you call them are called radar.

And would be obvious when viewing in port. Once again it is obvious, tigerred is not who they purport to be.

Since the damage on the USS Fitzgerald is on the starboard side, at first glance it appears that the captain of the US ship is at fault. Basically the other ship hit it right in the green light.

Looks like there might have been an attempt to intercept or to make some kind of surreptitious impromptu docking arrangement. That would explain the seeming lack of
vigilance as well as account for the dangerous proximity.

She figured working the gloryhole at the truck stop right outside the Navy Base gave her the right to say she served.
Which in a way I guess she did.

First off, the story talked about the arsonal that was on the ship, I made a mistake, get over it and trust me, I'm a 60 year old black woman....my memory is shit, however I know my truths and that's all that matters. I went to bootcamp in Orlando Fla. I was stationed on Coranado Island in California and 32nd street in San Diego and spent 4 years on the island of Oahu, Hawaii at a Naval Intelligence base because I was a DP2...I have a dd214 and was honorably discharge Jan. 1984

You'd think that someone with your vast Navel knowledge would know how to spell Aircraft Carrier....just sayin.

Collided ship turns right angle
A record aboard a Philippine container ship involved in a collision with a US destroyer shows that it took a sharp right turn southeast of the Izu Peninsula around 1:30 AM, about an hour before the collision was reported.

The record shows that the merchant ship, the ACX Crystal, then navigated east for about 30 minutes before making a U-turn and doubling back into the waters where the collision took place.

The ship left Nagoya, central Japan, for Tokyo on Friday evening, and passed south of the Izu Peninsula on Friday at midnight.

The container ship is over 100 ft longer than the destroyer and made a loop around at the time of the collision and came in at an angle.

Very interesting...any link to support that?

USS Fitzgerald crash: Race to find seven missing navy crew - BBC News

Very unusual for a container ship to maneuver like that.

 

[depotoo]

It is actually on the starboard side, but in rules of the sea, navigation, the USS Fitzgerald would be at fault. But the unusual maneuver by the container ship will bring cause for deeper investigation into it.

International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea - Wikipedia

Since the damage on the US ship is on the portside, at first glance it appears that the captain of the US ship is at fault.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

It goes without saying something unprecedented with a huge degree of human error and perhaps nefarious activity happened.
Having said that, we will probably never know what actually happened.

Yes I edited my post to note that I accidentally said portside when I meant starboard.

But the rules are more complicated. Without more details about what happened before the collision it's hard to say who was at fault.

I guess ship happens.

understood....you just dont know what a Carrier looks like.....

how does a air craft carrier run into or visa versa a ship almost its size?

Was wondering the exact same thing when I first saw the headline in the news yesterday

Even the Navy sucks under Trump.

Well, be fair. The OP served in naval "intelligence" and was discharged in 1984 yet cannot distinguish between a carrier and a destroyer.

I may be confusing to some, but they are very different ships in appearance, size and function.

If that doesn't give you pause, then nothing will.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The OP has stated in the past that she is a Navy veteran, however, her service is not the topic of this thread, so move past it, please, and discuss the article. Thanks

Really?
