[Semper911]

The captain is still going to lose his command, and many others will get busted in rank. I don't know how you miss a 740ft cargo ship off your starboard bow. The nav lights would be distinctive and the radar image unmistakable.

I guess it's possible they had some kind of system failure, but in those cases, you just go old school and navigate the old fashioned way.

I can't think of any legit reason so many people and systems could have failed.

Oh yes, without a doubt. He could've been 5000 miles away getting his appendix removed and it's still his fault.

The buck truly stops with the Captain.

Incompetency. Poor training. Spending time on gender sensitivity training and planning for homosexuality advocacy instead of navigation and war fighting.

I pray for anyone hurt or missing, but this is an embarrassing shame for the United States Navy.

I heard there are more admirals than ships now. And what are those admirals doing with their time?
