my guess:
Intentional ramming of the US ship immediately after UTURN in water by terrorist sympathizer from the muslim quarter of the island nation of the Philippines.
A coordinated attack by muslim collaborators on some of the other 400 ships that navigate that pathway every day.
Who believes that none of them could be muslim? OR that they would plot to take this action out, on their unholy days of ramadan?
based on what, exactly?
