SOUTH CHINA SEA - The guided-missile destroyer USS John S. McCain (DDG 56) was involved in a collision with the merchant vessel Alnic MC while underway east of the Straits of Malacca and Singapore on Aug. 21.

The collision was reported at 6:24 a.m. Japan Standard Time, while the ship was transiting to a routine port visit in Singapore.

Initial reports indicate John S. McCain sustained damage to her port side aft. Search and rescue efforts are underway in coordination with local authorities.

Exactly. Made me stop and wonder if the whole thing was fake news.

Whoever triggered this disaster is not an enemy. All chinese electronics have trojan back doors. A GPS device may have been triggered so the ship would think it is one place when it is actually some place else.When the navigational system is compromised, and human eyes are not used or needed, the entire ship is at the mercy of electronics that are doomed to fail. If running into a container ship is all it takes to put a destroyer out of action, it will be a childs game to take out the entire navy with trojan electronics.

This type of asset would not be used unless for a specific event - battle, confrontation, - a war time scenario. This type of asset his the highest value when it is an unknown that is a factor in a severe loss - not the main reason for failure.

Someone or some group is prematurely detonating, triggering, and controlling the trojan electronics to alert us that they exist, are functional, can be controlled and are deadly.

Wasn't it in the news a few years back that the Pentagon decided not to use Chinese chips and electronic devices for security concerns? Chinese electronics have back door trojans and every ship and aircraft is compromised. The left will dance on our and their own graves in jubilation if our military ends up like the keystone cops on parade.

Back door trojans are also in the average home residential security dvr system as reported last year. This is a known thing and Israel or the Russians - whomever had the ability to trigger the devices - is leaking the open secret that our military is compromised by bad electronics. All thanks to the Obama epoch of self destruction.

The GPS constellation itself is secure.

Transmitting and changing the ephemeris is blanketed in layer upon layer of secure codes.

Its the hardware here on Earth that is subject to hacks.

No surprise that 8 years with a traitor in the White Hut has compromised our military.
