The problem with this map is the collision time. The ACX Crystal didn’t report the incident immediately.

*****************

Correct. A lot of info that has yet to verified......

The Japanese Coast Guard said that at about 1:30 a.m. the ship struck the U.S.S. Fitzgerald.

The container ship continued east for another half hour before reversing around 2:00 a.m.
and returning to the scene. The Japanese Coast Guard and U.S. Navy initially said the collision
happened at 2:20 a.m. because the ACX Crystal did not report it until 2:25 a.m.

“””The Japanese Coast Guard and U.S. Navy initially said the collision happened at 2:20 a.m. because the ACX Crystal did not report it until 2:25 a.m.”””


And why didn’t the US Navy report the collision to the Japanese Coast Guard? Is the USN exempt?
