I'm not informed enough to discuss it but a caller knowledgeable in military matters and agreed by our local talk host suggested that it was a Philippine-flagged ship which could have had Muslims on board. Also they said the container ship did a u-turn and headed right for the destroyer. Also the transponder on the cargo ship was turned off and the lights were off.

The Philippines are teeming with Muslims. Something to think about.

In an earlier thread I saw a graphic depicting the path that container ship took. It is bizarre. The Container ship does indeed turn completely around and head straight at the Navy ship.

The article also mentioned that it was a Philippine ship. My first thought was "Muslim Pilot going Jihad on the Navy."

If there was a Muslim hand in this it was on the Fitz.
No way a container ship can ram a destroyer.

Unfounded rumor and innuendo. We would not have the tracking data on the container ship if the transponder was off.

Here’s an analogy for you:

You’re driving an 18-wheeler on a football field at night. The trailer is fully loaded. Your headlights aren’t working.

There’s a cat on the field.

Your task: Run over the cat.

For this to be a successful, intentional attack, the jihadists would need to have invented technology that makes a container ship invisible to both eyes and radar.

Wow, one of our fastest ships, a Destroyer, chased down by a cargo ship.

We need to work on our technology./s/s/s/s/s/
