Do we really think that hi-tech ships that can’t detect and avoid cargo ships actually have the capability of fending off ship killing missiles? The Iranians and Chinese must be paying close attention to this apparent frailty in the US Navy’s supposed Dominic nance of the seas.

It is appalling. I don’t know what’s going on but someone better get a handle on it quickly. TWO such similar accidents within a few weeks, and FOUR serious US Navy accidents in just a few months (including these two).

My thought exactly. Doesn't inspire much confidence.

You suppose that maybe, just maybe that there may be something going on here with radar or sonar technology being used that we do not know about.

Could one of these nations be using a jamming device or "cloaking" device aboard the cargo ships to hide these cargo ships so that these mishaps occur. As far as the cloaking device, I am not saying they up and disappear but give them a different radar signature or placement on the water.

Knowing that the US Navy relies so heavily on technology and not on good ol eyeballs and glasses this could be what is going on. I got that feeling, same sea, same type of ship.

Adds up and the US better get on top of it real quick before the missiles start flying.

Some other country may be showing the U S Navy just how vulnerable our ships are to hacking.....(China?)
