Deliberate ramming.
“Deliberate ramming.”
There is no plausible scenario, even if it was a deliberate ramming, where the crew of the Fitz was not at fault.
None. Zip. Nada.
To risk a $1.5bil asset and lose SEVEN of the crew is criminal negligence and dereliction of duty in ALL scenarios.
Even a fool knows this DDG saw the freighter coming and was capable of avoiding her.
Oh, so a huge, lumbering freighter set out to purposely ram a smaller, nimble US warship laden with radars......and succeeded!! This theory is ridiculous on about 5 different levels.
