Despite all your protestations, they lost the ability to communicate, and you have no better explanation for why than the one I came up with.
Clearly you didn’t seem to read that i did come-up with a different idea
Before the Collision the US Ship did not seem to be aware of the cargo ship or that they were about to be hit ...Why? why no radar contact why no radio contact why nothing...How the hell does anything that big get that close to a US warship and the US worship is completely unaware of it it’s just nuts
That to me point to a possible failure of systems ...before the collision... including the radio
In other words the loss of the radio was not caused by the collision.... the loss of the before radio and electronics before the collision might have been the cause of the collision
There has speculation the ship was subject of a hack or some kind of em pulse or other some other attack on its systems before the collision ....Could-be something as simple as a system failure that distracted people ...but questiom is why the ship was operating in such a deaf dumb and blind mode to get broadsided by this cargo ship ...Are we talking pure utter incompetence of the crew or something else going on
