Terrorism? How else does a tanker broadside a Destroyer? But how in the world did the Destroyer let itself get in the way of such a large ship? I thought the Titanic and Carpathia taught us not to turn off the electronics.

The container ship was being driven by computer? USS Fitzgerald was struck on its starboard (right-hand) side, and maritime rules require vessels to give way to others on that side.
