What’s more plausible is that IT IS an accident, and that the midwatch OOD decided not to follow Captain’s standing orders and wake the CO for contacts with CPAs of X nm of the ship.
Container ship should have cut her in half, and what likely happened is that the vessel flexed at the keel which opened a seam and ruptured through-hull fittings.
The collision happened on the right side of the ship. Open and shut that the collision was the fault of the DDG.
Captain got tossed across his stateroom by the impact of the collision, which hit directly on his stateroom, which is just below the bridge in most ships on the O2 or O3 level. Chances are he was unconscious, incapacitated, or they had real trouble getting into his stateroom. He medievac’d off. XO normally coordinates the DC response with the DCA.
This all screams NOT READY to any adversary that cares to pay attention.
Sadly, I concur.
