That's a really nice graphic -- but, one of the reasons I haven't used that frame from the (Chinese?) animation sequence is that the artist (or his graphic software) depicts the ACX Crystal's lower bow protrusion in the wrong position.

Perhaps it was supposedly a correction for seawater refraction, but the protrusion is angled off several degrees to starboard -- which would have placed the underwater damage too far forward on the Fitzgerald.

Also, per my visualization, the relative speeds (Fitzgerald considerably faster) would, at that point/instant of approach, had the ACX Crystal's 90-degree course in line with the very front of the Fitzgerald's bow -- not with the actual point of contact...
