The cargo ship Besiktas-M is owned by a Turkish company (even though it carries the Panama flag).

How is this allowed to happen after the USS Cole? Were the escorts asleep at the helm / Combat Information Center?

That merchant should have been a reef.

Looks like the Navy needs to start over, from top to bottom.

How did our a/c allow that other ship to get so close to them?

Anyone who knows anything about an aircraft carrier battle group knows that this is next to impossible. Collide with a support ship? Maybe. Get to the heart of the battle group and hit the carrier... no way. I wonder what’s the real story...

Great! Now the chicoms know our Navy’s only weakness. Just sneak up on them with a giant container ship under the cover of night.

The ship’s motto is, “The buck stops here.” We’ll see.

“There are no reports of injuries, nor is there flooding, aboard the carrier, which carries a crew of 5,000 sailors, and the incident is under investigation.”

THAT is a miracle in and of itself! Woman Captain at the wheel? *SMIRK* ;)

Is everyone alright on the aircraft carrier? The Captain? Is she OK?
