Plotting the course arrow with each point is instructive. The container ship was doing 18+ knots on an easterly course, then -- 10 minutes before the collision -- apparently, the autopilot made a programmed 20-degree course change to port (to 70 degrees) and maintained 18+ knots. Presumably, that change was toward the Fitzgerald.
At 16:30Z, immediately post-collision, the ACX Crystal lost 1.2 knots in speed, and was deflected 18 degrees to starboard. To me, that is not inconsistent with a glancing collision on the port bow.
It's been widely reported (or speculated) that the ACX Crystal was on autopilot. Reduced speed, plus a 90-degree collision-avoidance turn to starboard -- with the vessel quickly brought back to its 70-degree pre-collision course and speed -- would, to this landlubber, appear to be expected autopilot behavior.
It's also been widely reported or speculated that the entire crew was asleep. If so, it's reasonable to speculate that the collision woke the crew, someone was sent forward to check for collision damage, and when it was reported back, the u-turn was made that placed the vessel back in the collision vicinity (at dead-slow speed [red dots]) almost an hour after the collision.
Reportedly, it was at that time, some 50 minutes after the collision, that ACX Crystal radioed in the report of the incident. (Cause of the confusion in times?)

That raises a BIG question: Did the USS Fitzgerald radio in a report of the collision? If so, at what time was that report made?
