bert: "The navy ship was hit close to the stern. That is, the ship almost made it.
Had it been traveling faster or the container vessel been a mite slower, the navy vessel would have been clear.
My take is the navy vessel misjudged the speeds of both vessels and didn’t make it in time."

Here's that photo.
I would not call it "close to the stern", I'd call it "somebody asleep at the helm."
Just a lubber's uneducated opinion, of course.
