The reports say the ACX Crystal suffered from an impact on the left or port side of its bow. From what I see of the USS Fitzgerald, the ACX was travailing at a perpendicular angle into its starboard side. The destroyer might have been like someone trying to get across a busy street, thinking it could get out of the way of the oncoming cars in time — in this case, a miscalculation.

You're not much on examining and analyzing evidence, are you?

If the contact was perpendicular, why wasn't damage distributed on both sides of the ACX Crystal's bow?

For that matter, Why wasn't the bow, itself, damaged?

I'm not even going to attempt to discuss evidence of vertical-motion damage with you ...
