I wonder who had the deck.

My guess is the skipper is not long for this world.

A woman. A woman also had the deck of the Deepwater Horizon when it caught on fire in the gulf. She froze up and did nothing once problems started.

The damage on the navy ship was on the starboard side, and the freighter had minimal damage to its port bow. That means the freighter was the stand on vessel, and the navy ship should have given way.

Then, of course, there is the law of gross tonnage...

Many careers will be lost over this, and much paper will fly.

But more importantly, there are 7 sailors missing. Let's hope they were sneaking a smoke on the fantail.

Don’t make a bit of difference. Skipper’s career just ended with a “bang”.

“I wonder who had the deck.”

It was 0220. Routine transit in friendly waters.

It was some girl LTJG.

And the skipper will lose his career over it, or his refusal to put unqualified people at the helm.

His choice.

The problem is the SEVEN missing.
