Thanks. I could not imagine that human eyes had been dispensed with — neither technology nor individuals can be relied upon 100%, and there always has to be redundancy. The Fitzgerald collision occurred close to the Japanese coast, between major ports. I could accept that the commercial freighter was negligently flying blind, but that does not explain how a USN warship could fail to notice a container ship on course to t-bone them. Truth is in short supply.
What went wrong on the Fitzgerald will take time to sort out. Little will be revealed until the investigation is complete. All we will be able to do is speculate as to the actions on her bridge that led to the collision.
