I suspect NKOR engineered accident. 2 giant ships just don’t collide without intention from one party to the other and I doubt this was U.S ship captain that was inatentive.

The news is strange. They’re not trying to smear Trump with this. Like the wording is too perfect to be informative that a ship was damaged and people lost, killed and injured, but no indications of the circumstances and the demographics of the merchant vessel.

Oh maybe morale and vigilance was low. One does not emerge from an Obamic miasma overnight.

Trump has nothing to do with so why bring it up?

After that idiotic incident with the Iranians and the riverine boats a while back I suspect the state of the Navy training and morale is exceedingly poor.

I suspect NKOR engineered accident.

You can't be serious. If one even had the intention of engineering such an event, how would you orchestrate having the U.S. ship plow into the bow of a cargo ship in the middle of a shipping lane?

[mware]

Wasn't the other ship out of the Philippines, that are having problems with Islamic terrorism? Only takes one person in the right position to trigger the collision.

[9YearLurker]

How would they have done that?

My guess is some kind of dereliction of duty on the part of the US personnel.

I read somewhere the other crew was muslim. Rumors swirl around an incident like this.

When the bow of a ship (the container ship) strikes another craft MIDSHIPS (the destroyer), then it is the container ship that rammed the destroyer.

The container ship appears to have been making CRAZY IVANS for no reason.
