“Women on the ships not talking to each other in a snit?”
That is exactly what happened on USS FITZGERALD. The OOD and CICWO were not speaking due to a longstanding estrogen-fueled conflict. The OOD was incompetent and the CICWO was focused on routine paperwork instead of watchkeeping.

Some folks have opining that both ships might have been captained by incompetent women. Wrong. My sources at the British Admiralty just forwarded to me a picture of the captain who was responsible.
(I wonder if anyone under 40 knows who that is. His initials are BH.)

They are two screw vessels also, which makes this even worse.

Maybe the two ships’ Captains can now open a turkey ranch together. It being the UK, maybe Bershire pigs?

The minesweeper moored at the pier might be a constructive total loss due its fiberglass hull. I believe a similar fiberglass-hulled minesweeper in Britain was totalled from a collision because significant hull damage cannot be safely repaired.

Was there some kind of current or wind condition? If not then that was just plain stupid maneuvering that close together.
