There is, but all that tells you is where the other ship is and what she is doing. Not what she is going to do. If she’s supposed to do something and does something else, things can get difficult very quickly.

A fried of mine graduated from Kings Point and he tells me that an entire semester was spent on rules of the road. So, since I'm out on a sailboat all the time, I tried to read up on it. Yeah It's complicated.

I concluded that it is a good idea to keep as far away from the other boat as you can.

Both this ship and the Fitzgerald are Arleigh Burke Class missile destroyers.

Just a week or so my wife and I were in Bath, Maine alongside the Bath Iron Works where both were built.

It is beyond amazing to have two virtually identical ships have such a mishap within months.
