>>Read it for yourself to know.<<
Thanks for the link. What surprised me on reading it is that they never really lost steering control; the helmsman just thought he did when, in fact, it was inadvertently transferred to the Lee Helm position. From there on it just got worse and worse, with no one seemingly able to figure out what was really going on and all sorts of ineffective corrective actions being taken (including slowing down so much that they were hit when they could have passed by in time to avoid it, apparently.)
The last few pages of the report offer a good summary for those not wanting to read the whole thing.
IMO if they had simply maintained speed, or even increased speed, they would have crossed the bow. It might have been close, but no hit.
