My youngest has complaints about his safety gear too. But he wears it.

We now find out the 7 Sailors lost were in their berths, so no Life Vest were required. And the berth area was what was rammed. They rotate the use of the berths by shift. Top side OPS are different issue, seems the Fitz was stationary trying to avoid a crazy course the container ship was on...it was on auto pilot, with crew asleep it seems. Not much damage to the cargo ship.

Details slowly leaking out.

So they were below decks at the incident. Dear God.

What was the freighter doing? Trying to do doughnuts in the ocean?
