Not seaworthy without major repairs.
Maybe it's time to retire both John McCains?
To: Enlightened1
If I am not mistaken it looks like where the USS Cole was hit as in the side/middle, not in the front. (I know nothing of starboard or port) Is that where the most people could be harmed?

Sorry, you said it first. I had to go looking to see if I was correct.

No, other side of ship and this one is aft, the Fitzgerald was hit much more forward.

Port side and further aft than Fitz. Berthing area? Time to ban those bulbous noses on oil tankers.

Port side means Left and Starboard side is the right side.

The incident will be investigated. Ya think?

It seems obvious the commanders put in place by the Obama administration were/are affirmative action!

Isn’t the “New Navy” just grand! So glad it is socially functional.

It certainly looks extremely odd?
How does ship manage to get T-Bone another ship that is not under attack?
To: madison10
Port = left
Starboard = right

Not being Navy, commander = captain?

Only if you can’t tell your port from your starboard.

How could a modern warship with state-of-the-art radar and global positioning satellite technology collide with another ship in the 21st century?
To: Pining_4_TX
Rumors are both captains are affirmative action guys.I'd like to know if it's true. However, it's hard to believe that even an affirmative action captain and deck watch could be that incompetent... twice.
