Merchant ship - Wonder what the speed was....Once in motion....
A drawing I saw shows the Merchant Ship turning into the Fitzgerald.
The timelines are not synced. I suspect from looking at the multiple ones shown, that it was on pretty direct route until the collision, then briefly going in those circles. Seems like some reports now suggesting. Seems obvious. Besides at around 2 a.m., not likely circling and targeting a navy ship. And the navy ship, their path? Seems like everyone surprised. No one paying attention.
