“This story about two ships colliding is NOT BELIEVABLE.”
For this to work at all, the destroyer would have to be training under some sort of a stealth no emissions protocol and the container ship would have had to have some malfunction causing their radar etc. to be offline. If the destoyer is running passive in the dark and the container ship is making erratic maneuvers AND not emitting anything, maybe. Otherwise, yeah this is pretty weird.
Yeah, what’s even weirder is trying to miss each other in the night, which ought to be fairly easy or trying to connect with each other night, with no modern electronics, which should be somewhat harder...

That tangled reasoning might have led to the collision, but then for the freighter to leave the scene after ?
Looking at the track of the freighter, something stinks. Looks like it doubled back to hit the cruiser then there’s another series of circles later which are unexplained before continuing on to port.
