“Both crews did not attempt to contact the merchant ship bearing down on them, sound a warning horn, sound a collision warning or sound general quarters before the impacts.”

Chain of command confusion? Sounds like no one on the bridge was viewed as “in charge” or that person “froze” when decisions had to be made.
