Ummm, could be that the Japanese tug boat collided with US warship.

Navy needs a complete makeover from top to bottom.
Disappointing.

ABC is playing this up to discredit our NAVY.

The tugboat lost power during a towing exercise.

Misleading headline. The tug boat collided with the warship.

Misleading headline — the Japanese tug lost power and ran into the U.S. warship, not the other way around. In such a scenario, the vessel under power is burdened, however, given the towing exercise underway, there may not have been enough time or the ability to react.

That said, there is a problem with manpower, training, and personnel & material readiness in the Navy, as well as the other Services. Thanks Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama.

Imagine this headline.

US Navy blasts Japanese Tug Boat out of water to avoid collision.

Doesn’t sound like such a big deal...unless the Navy vessel was smaller than the Japanese tug boat.

I think I should go down to the Navy office and tell them they need to hire me to stand on the forward deck of one of those expensive ships with a walkie talkie.

In a hurry. It would not require training.

Get serious, read your own post:

The Japanese tug boat lost propulsion and drifted into the USS Benfold during a towing exercise.

The Japanese tug boat was towing our destroyer.

The Japanese tug boat lost propulsion/power and that causes the tug boat to lose control. Then, it drifted into our Destroyer.

Isn’t this what happens when promotions/retention/hiring are based on irrelevant crap like race, gender, sexual orientation or political correctness? Instead of competence/proficiency? NOBODY Obama put in or retained in a top job belongs there.

Headline is wrong, the Tug drifted into the US ship and hit it not the other way around. But of course the media has to put the military in a bad light whether legitimate or not.

I don’t understand the headline. The Japanese tug lost power and drifted into the ship.
