The captain is going to get dishonorably discharged, maybe face court martial.

What kind of dipfuck drives a destroyer in front of a cargo ship?

An Arleigh Burke is 100 times more maneuverable than any cargo ship.

This was definitely a "hold my beer" moment. Captain was probably thinking he'd show off and cut it close or something, fucked up badly.

Surely the oow didn't blindly allow the ship to run a straight course into the path of a fucking cargo vessel?

Was it a manoeuvre into its path? Do US naval vessels have the same procedures as us?

When a manoeuvre is ordered on our warships, there is a "check quarters" command given and 2 crew members physically eyeball out of both bridge wings, mainly for tradition but also to confirm radar info before making any course changes.

>Doesn't make sense how????
Morons still manage to get hit by trains all the time.

Think about that for a bit. Most people will not walk or drive into a train moving in front of them. So they almost always get hit head on.

A path that's lets say 3 m wide, which can be cleared in maybe 1s in a car or 2s on foot.

So they have a 3 meter wide danger zone that can be cleared in at most 2s.

As for a ship getting hit, every officer on watch and that captain should be removed from command and given a full review and if found to be of merit retraining and can start over a few ranks down.

"As the father of two teenagers, I found this book invaluable. I’m sure other parents here can empathize when I say I shudder at the thought of the increasing presence of huge ships in the lives of my children. I certainly remember the strain I caused so long ago for my own parents when I began experimenting with huge ships. The long inter-continental voyages that kept my mom and dad up all night with worry. Don’t even get me started on the international protocols when transporting perishable cargo. To think, I was even younger than my kids are now! huge ships are everywhere and it doesn’t help that the tv and movies make huge ships seem glamorous and cool. This book helped me really approach the subject of huge ships with my kids in an honest and non judgmental way. Because of the insights this book provided, I can sleep a little better and cope with the reality that I can’t always be there to protect my kids from huge ships, especially as they become adults. I’m confident that my teens, when confronted by a huge ship, are much better prepared to make wiser decisions than I did. At the very least my children certainly know that they can always come to me if they have any concerns, questions or just need my support when it comes to the topic of huge ships.”

>>130217612
likely under EMCON and poor visibility.

That said, cargo ships should have their radar on, and passive sensors on the frigate can identify them

>>130217612
Seriously, that's a great point. There are cars that can park themselves now. And brake on their own.
Why the hell aren't these super expensive ships designed to turn or something if they are moving at a certain speed and something is coming up?
We spend enough dang money on them.

>>130217612

You boys clearly don't understand shit.
Have you heard the saying "it takes a mile to stop a train" ?

Now scale that up to a boat.
Now there's 2 boats.
And each one causes a displacement of water around it.
That water sucks in anything that gets too close.

Two boats, can't stop, get too close, get pulled into one another.

That's why boat don't sail close together the way cars can drive next to each other.

>>130210851

>>130217677
Aye, sure seems like a major breakdown in navigation protocol.
If there was ever an example of grounds for being cashiered then this is it. Endangering your vessel, crew and other seafarers due to extreme negligence.

>>130218048
So it's 2am... I fire torpedoes at a ship like this, what happens if everyone on deck jerks off like in this case? If Jamal is asleep at the wheel, she goes down to Davy Jones Locker?

>>130214370
OK...that was funny.

>>130218390
It's a football field sized cargo ship, they can see it coming from miles away. This is literally not possible short of massive incompetence or everyone on both ships simultaneously going into a coma.

Turns out that kamikaze attacks were not ruled out after all

>>130218277
In general, the rule of thumb is that the vessel of lowest displacement gives way to the larger in course conflicts.

>>130218556
Apparently 7 crew are missing.

>>130218390

they probably told them to alter course and they were like, fuck your face---and due to overconfidence the captain of the destroyer didn't alter course... [Causal]

Nobody is saying it should try to turn at the last second.
They are saying there should be a sensor that knows there is something at a distance and make a course correction.

Looks like the starboard bridgewing of the navy vessel folded the cargo ships bulwark in and the cargo ship's anchor absolutely rekt the navy ship's weather deck.

>>130219774

To be exact - under Colregs no ship has a right of way, it is the job of both ships to try to avoid collisions.

Both the cargo crew and the navy crew are in deep shit.

>>130210851

In all the times I have been on bridgewing duty, I've never seen a RN warship refuse to yield to larger vessels but on the odd occasion when it was required, we never really changed course, usually reduced our velocity to allow an easy passing behind the vessel.

However, there is always the case of HMS Hawk v Olympic.

Is it a case of the destroyer failed to give way to the cargo ship while it was in a channel?

BAHAHAHHA!

so why was the fitzgerald so close to that cargo ship, why the fuck did they not let the cargo ship pass?

WTF was habbening over there?

Was it animu transmissions from japan that caused to collision?

From twitter

The damage to Fitzgerald is serious and the crew has been fighting to save the ship, three sources indicated.

Two crew berthings and one engineering main space have been flooded

The CO has been seriously injured and the Executive Officer has taken command of the ship, sources said.

>>130213433
Any order that hazards a ship is automatically considered an unlawful order, and therefore does not have to be followed.
I was on the helm, and given a left turn command with a ship right off our port beam.
I hesitated, and he immediately corrected himself.

>>130221319
That ship is covered in radar equipment, basically anywhere they could find room to put it that it wouldn't interfere with the weapons.

>>130221319
A lot of the electronics to process the radar data is right where it was impacted. Or so I have been told.

Indeed. NHK (japan) is reporting at least one sailor was airlifted off the ship.

Would this have happened under President Sanders? I don't think so!

>>130221753
Well that depends on who was commanding the ship at the time. Ship was in open ocean and it was late at night. CO need to sleep too.

>>130221944
Probably the CO

>>130221530
Ouch, the systems for that on ours are deep inside the ship, a compartment we called "the snake pit" nowhere near the outer hull. Seems strange to have it so close to the impact area.

Nigger you dont stop a cargo ship of few hundred thousand metric tons.

If in open sea the bigger you are the more right of passage you got, thats the general rule of thumb.

Under the regulations of the sea both ships must do all that they can to avoid collisions. There is no such thing as a "right of way"

the US Navy commanders are fucked. But the cargo ship is also at fault. When ships collide both are deemed at fault unless one ship had made a immediate change of course just prior to the collision, which has not been established.

>>130223306
All things being done properly should have resulted in both vessels realising a course conflict at least a mile out, cargo ship would probably have contacted the Fitzgerald to clarify her intentions, then the Fitzgerald would/should have throttled back a bit or made a few degrees turn to starboard or both.

Unfortunately, there seems to have been a major clusterfuck.

>>130223872

>>130224171
In the real world, when vessels with large displacements are involved it is generally the case of tonnage being king.

A 200kt bulk carrier is not going to make a course change to give way to an 8000t destroyer when its turning circle is ~3 miles.

>>130224120

>>130223457
Was it open seas off the coast is generally not open seas, was the cargo vessel in fact in a shipping channel. Off the coast this is also a possibility.

I have always adjusted course to starboard to avoid collision. Most people do.

>>130224716
Depends if the smaller vessel is engaged in some kind of operation that would have them flying the ball/diamond/ball (restricted in ability to maneuver)
