To: drop 50 and fire for effect

I wondering if there isn’t some sort of signal interference technology being played with by someone. I think I recall one of our ships encountering such several years ago. One of our ships was buzzed by Russia...anyone recall?

If nothing else, the watchstanders should have *seen* the freighter or tanker they hit (because they’re still required to keep watch with the Mk1 Eyeball) well in advance due to running lights even if all their electronics had failed or were spoofed.

Please, tell me again how you would spoof someone’s eyes from not seeing a giant, clearly marked merchant ship? That’s like saying you didn’t see the football stadium you drove your car into.

How does one signal interfere with a squid standing lookout watch on deck with a pair of binoculars? How does one signal interfere with the visual reality of a 60,000 ton ship approaching from a mile off on a collision course?
