Umm, perhaps a revisit of the training program is in order?

It’s not her fault. The freighter cut her off.

Trying my damnedest to not be cynical BUT since the article doesn’t mention the CO by name etc would imagine that it is NOT a straight, white male......
Just saying....had it been a SWM, the picture would have been shown etc etc etc
Terrible what all this PC is doing to ‘us’ once fairminded people.....

The warship sustained damage below the waterline. Where did you read that the warship sustained damage below the waterline?
Neither the story you linked to nor the story at The War Zone says that.

“The warship sustained damage below the waterline.”
The 378-foot-long Billings sustained damage ABOVE the waterline.

I visited the USS Milwaukee during Fleet Week in Staten Island about a month ago. This class of ships is highly maneuverable. The engines are capable of rotating 360 degrees to allow the whip to translate sideways.
There is no way this ship was incapable of avoiding this collision because of the design.

Well, that’s the end of someone’s naval career.
Of course, an LCS isn’t going to be missed.
I guess they all need more time in ship handling simulators.

another CO’s career down the toilet. Probably the XO’s, OOD, JOOD’s careers also.

Reminds me of that old joke where messages are sent back and forth :
It’s at night, dark and helmsman notifies Captain and on board Admiral that a ship is heading straight for them on a collision course.
Ship: we’re on a collision course, suggest you vear to port.
Return message : agree we’re on a collision course, suggest you vear to port.
Ship: this is Admiral______ suggest you vear to port.
Return message : this is yeoman _____suggest you vear to port.
Ship: I’m on a battleship so I suggest you vear to port.
Return message: I’m on a light house so I suggest you vear to port.

Article says it was under assistance of tugs.

Perhaps this book should be required reading for all US Navy captains.

sustained damage after hitting another vessel in Montreal, Canada yesterday. The warship had been on its way to future homeport in Mayport, Florida I'm confused. On it's way from where? Montreal doesn't seem to me to be in between a lot of places and Mayport, Florida, maritimely speaking.

The Billings was getting underway with the assistance of tugs. Could be the tugs were at fault.
To: Starboard
If the ship was being controlled by a harbor pilot and there were tug boats involved then the situation is more complicated.
