Several articles I read said that the Fitzgerald was not under way at the time it was struck.
And it sure looks that way to me. The impact photos seem to show a single impact with no scraping as you would expect if the Fitz had been under way.
So if the Fitz was stationkeeping (sea anchors?) at 2am, how long would it take to get the ship moving with no warning?
Also other reports seem to say that the Captain was on the bridge, and that his chair was crushed which is why he was injured and evacuated.

You make a very good point not made by any other that I can recall. There is no scraping on the Fitzgerald that I could see. Only an impact line on the Fitz and the container vessel. Even if they ran parallel after collision there should be some marks shouldn’t there?
