A helmsman could not have done this. Open ocean collisions are definitely caused by officers. Now, if you want to blame a sick OOD, that's a possibility. The Fitz has female officers (which I am okay with) and may even have officers elsewhere on the gender spectrum (which I am very much not okay with).

Does not the helmsman take orders from the OOD ?
Some one was not paying attention.
I sat radar on CG AC never on a ship but used to look at it on my Dear Ole Dads Grand Banks and it saved us many a time in the dark and fog.
Gender identity be it LGBTQ LMNOP is a cause for a confused mind and I wouldn’t want to take orders from any one in that state of mind. Just me
