“...there were probably minutes of sheer terror aboard..”

If there were minutes of terror someone on the DDG really screwed up. The Fitz could easily move well away from danger in a short period of time.

I will say that I was surprised that the Crystal could manage 25 knots.

A Burke DDG can do a complete 180 in less than a mile and can go from a dead stop to 40kts in 2 miles.

This crew screwed up and cost 7 their lives.

Most of the containerships can cruise at 29 to 32 knots depending on sea state.
