The container ship had right of way, the Fritz was the burdened vessel and should have stood well away from the container ship. Also, the Fritz being smaller and much more maneuverable typically will give way to a larger vessel even when they have right of way. A Navy ship being broadsided in clear conditions is hard to fathom ... all Navy ships underway, in addition to all the sophisticated radar they have on board, still have sailors stationed port and starboard as lookouts.
I know I'm not.
