“Wasn’t the captain injured in his cabin?”
Travis, if this is true, then the Fitz crew (apparently) failed to follow protocol on a number of different levels.
Otherwise, what reasonable explanation has the Capt in his cabin at the time of impact (unless he went back to retrieve something...)?
“Benson was among those injured in the collision with the ACX Crystal container ship, which occurred about 56 nautical miles of Yokosuka, Japan. However, it appears he will be OK. Still, it was a close call.”
“Benson “was asleep when the accident happened and his cabin was destroyed by the impact at 2:30 a.m. on Saturday,” reported UK Daily Mail, quoting Vice Adm Joseph Aucoin as saying Benson is “lucky to be alive.”
Captain should have been on the bridge with a CPA less than two miles, especially by a contact that had an erratic path.
