That collision was as close to the citadel as you can get without hitting the citadel dead on.

My first thought was something fishy about the story, and there still is. However I question the proficiency of the Ships crew if got even permitting the ship to be placed in a position where it could be rammed.

Destroyer hit in the middle from the cargo ship bow, that means the cargo ship turned into the destroyer path. The Destroyer either sped up, slowed down or simply didn’t know it was happening.

Be interesting to know when the collision alarms were sounded.

Feel sorry for the crew member that died.

I wonder if the cargo ships crew were immediately detained and placed under guard by the Navy boarding party. If there was one. That could account for the hour delay.

Wouldn't it seem more likely that the destroyer cut across the cargo ship's path?

What part of the ship is the ‘citadel? I’ve never seen that term used with regard to ships.
