AIS might give you a decent idea of where the other ship is, but not accurately enough to prevent a collision. I don’t think they would rely on it.

It is not a sub...in crowded waters they should be watching with there EYES

Did China Hack The 7Th Fleet?

The Chicoms hacked these ships and there is no doubt about this anymore.

The time will come and hopefully soon where we are going to have to punish the Chicoms especially on the Trade front very very soon.

Also, we need to find out who supplied the technology for these folks to become so sophisticated so quickly on the technology front.

We know that their military is stealing us blind throughout all of our high tech companies.

We know for a fact that when an American Chinese, who is employed by a high tech company has to bring back some information like drawings or pics of some high tech items.

The Chinese military is doing this troughout China.

We know that our capabilities are superior than theirs right now but they are stealing us and the whole world blind on any technology that is useful to their military.

Or maybe they need to spend more time in Ops Training and less time in Diversity training .... Just sayin ...

Correct. Occam’s razor here. When your command, Sanchez & Sanchez, sounds more like an immigration law firm than a US Navy ship most likely you have a problem. And it’s not the Chicoms hacking the US Navy.

Once, ok, let it slide. Twice, coincidence? Three times? Wait a fourth? Please.

Where do we source our chips, boards and associated electronics? Have we willingly stuck our head into the noose? This is essential equipment. Why would we have subbed it to a nation that is diametrically opposed to everything we believe in, plus they steal everything they get their hands on.

There is a lack of professionalism displayed in today's Navy.
Whatever happened to sailors standing watch port, starboard and aft?. Too much dependence on radar and other navigational electronics in my estimation. Next thing maritime agencies, worldwide, will be putting out warnings to shipping to stay well clear of U.S. Navy vessels. They're an eminent danger to commercial shipping.

No, it just emphasizes that visual lookouts should be on duty and alert at all times.

Murpy’s Law ALWAYS applies.

These incidents have all occurred during calm times, even if at night.

Command was not doing what it should.

capabilities at sea with success.
China has lost a ship in the south China sea wonder if.........

Has anyone heard from Elliot Carver lately?

Intentional collision...

I find it hard to believe that a destroyer could be rammed intentionally by anyone. I think this is the result Obama sought when he spent 8 years degrading our military in every way he could.

[mazda77]

I agree but just posed the question. There is always the need for visual outlooks. Just like in the Army, we had the Fire Guard routine in the barracks. But now we have to review what and if any of the old lookout routines were eliminated because someone felt just too comfortable with technology. On its face, this tends to look more and more like a failure in the entire chain of command from the Pentagon on procedure.

Im sure there was a thorough non- PC investigation and no scapegoating...

Um

[neverevergiveup]

“I don’t think they would rely on it.”

Don't know. We're in the era pushing driverless cars and windowless airplanes, so nothing would surprise me.

[OldMissileer]

They would have to “hack” the receiver on the ship.

No, they can mess with the signal. Much easier and has been done since GPS was invented.

[Mariner]

Anyone who posits this, or believes it, is completely ignorant of seamanship and the rules of the sea.

These collisions can ONLY happen due to human error, often on a grand scale.

It’s the only possible way.

So, don’t be a dumb ass...do your research.

Did China take away the watch’s binoculars?
