The attention has been focused solely on how the sailors failed to avoid the collision with the cargo ship but not what the crew of the cargo ship was doing or whether it was intentional.

A cargo ship deliberately ramming a USA military ship seems unlikely.
Kind of like a canoe ramming a jetski.
Something else is going on here but not sure what yet.

My question is why are Navy ships allowing non-Navy ships to get close to them out in the ocean?

I don’t understand this.

The video is worthy of thought.

No one expects a cargo ship to turn into another ship.

No one expected 9/11 either.........................

On September 29, 2014 something went terribly wrong aboard Hapag-Lloyd’s containership Colombo Express when it lost control and slammed into the Maersk Tanjong today. Both vessels were heading south through the north end of the Suez Canal.

I was stopped at a red traffic light one time and was rear ended by a teenage driver; ergo, the Fitzgerald and the McCain were deliberately rammed by cargo ships. Isn’t that logical?

That wasn’t ramming. It looks more like they were trying to do tug boat stuff. They slowed way down and came in at a shallow angle to do less damage. Meanwhile the target was stationary. Any idea that’s ramming practice is hokum.

Go to G Captain. Hapag Llloyd claims this was a rudder failure in the Suez.

I really don’t believe that a major commercial carrier such as Hapag would submit to being the subject of a ramming practice exercise with one of the largest container ships in the world.

It really is a little far fetched.

have serious doubts that anybody will risk their cargo like this, for a ‘practice run’. and any insurance company would think twice before insuring any future cargoes from either line after this.

I call baloney

Re first video: I have a difficult time placing credibility in imbeciles who make videos by pointing a (shaky) handheld camera at a display screen. Video screen capture software is cheap and simple to use -- and usually serves as a pretty good video editor, as well.
