lmao arent they supposed to be like indestructible or someshit? if half the ship is a wreck from a slow as collision from a merchant ship then imagine what a missile could do to it

>>130248985
US navy has a history of this. There was a similar incident off the Irish coast a few years back.

Here is the recording of the radio communication

https://youtu.be/iWFd-2_f-NE

Think about how easy it would be to essentially cripple the US Navy. These ships are almost too expensive to risk losing, and it won't be state of the art, sophisticated, weapons systems from hostile threats that will be the greatest threat to them, it will be stupid things like a zerg rush of suicide boats, mines/IEDs.

It's almost like the pre-WW1 buildup of Dreadnaughts, when England and Germany essentially bankrupted themselves building the things before realizing, after war was declared, that they couldn't afford to replace them, and so they ended up more or less being irrelevant to the outcome of the war.

>>130249562
The North Koreans and the Chinese know this too. That is why they have invested in lots of smaller craft specifically to take on the American navy. Like a swarm of bees attack. It just takes one small boat/submarine to take out an aircraft carrier.

How does this actually happen? Is americas navy so poorly trained that ship captains cant prevent or avoid collisions at slow speed?

At least we now know that the Americans can actually hit something..........

>>130249236

Another chink country thought they could cripple us by destroying our Navy.

>>130251939
I was thinking more about the scale difference. Hitting a fishing vessel is one thing but a fucking merchant vessel is huge

>>130248985
That's why we need STRONG BORDERS around our navy. Lel.

>>130252037
It's no emu but it works.

Besides >>130251939 proves they hit us, don't know why that's lost on you people.

>>130252280

Oh right sorry. No they hit a cargo ship that had 5x the displacement

>>130248985
Naval Vessels are crewed by some of the most incompetent and overconfident navigators I've seen. Constrained by stiff operating procedures, generally these accidents are caused by too many heads in the wheelhouse trying to pass the buck so they're not held responsible instead of making a decision.
When dealing meeting, crossing, or overtaking naval vessels, there's a mantra that will keep you safe: "If it's gray, stay away'

>t. Merchant Sailor

>>130251791
The NK and Chinese have already tried this tactic out with success. Using small subs to get into the middle of American carrier groups. Even the US navy were surprised how successful they were at it. Not saying they would do it first but it definitely acts as a detterent.

They probably have all the active senor off as they are not in combat situation hence have to relied on eyes in deck

Hope those lads remembered their swim lessons.

>>130252626
it doesn't matter if they've tried it out "with success" (hint: the US isn't going to just start dropping charges to bring the subs to the surface, they're going to collect information off the subs), if anyone ever even attempts to sink a US aircraft carrier there is going to be a cuban missile crisis level shitstorm.

if anyone succeeds in sinking an aircraft carrier, there are going to be invasions. plural.

>>130251939
The shipping vessel literally suffered less damage than the warship lol

>>130248985
looks like they got t-boned by the cargo ship

>>130251761
Poorly qualified personnel, negligence, carelessness, the list goes on. Mostly the first one. A lot of people just don't give a shit right now and/or just want to make their division or command look good by having a bunch of "qualified" dudes

You do realize ramming the enemy is a legitimate strategy employed for as long as there have been ships, right? Brush up on your physics for why this is possible.

>>130252719

It was more than 6 hours ago and there is no sea search underway, the 'missing' are likely in the flooded compartments

They can't sail for shit
They expect computers to do everything for them

Where's the look out? Where's the sailor who's supposed to be perched on the mast?

Low skill fat fucks with no common sense

Holy shit you guys, we need to give the Navy some more money to get some new radars and captains. This can't be going on.

>both ships not instantly exploding upon contact

The anchor raking the ship didn't help.

It looks like it crumpled like a modern car in a crash. Why is this thing built so poorly?

>>130252959
That is the point. The tactic wouldn't be used in anger unless an invasion was imminent or already taking place. Then it would be all hands on deck so to speak. The successful sinking of an aircraft carrier would slow down the said invasion and be an enormous boost to moral to the people being invaded.

>>130249236
Aircraft carriers are nigh indestructable, and would rip a merchant ship to shreds.

>>130254506
Built for speed and maneuverability, like a sports car instead of a tank. It doesn't need to survive a broadside from a battleship, it needs to survive missile attacks. Plating won't help that survive a missile, but the defensive systems on board will.

Wtf does it matter? It doesn't
It could have been sunk and laying at the bottom of the sea right now, with all it's fancy equipment

They should have:

Instead of taking a broadside by a filipino fishing junk. Just imagine if it was a chinese, russian or korean war ship, your stupid sports car missile cruiser would be nothing more than a tin can with holes in it. Burgers are so incompetent, can't win a fucking war and this is why. Wearing the uniform made me sick toward the end, it was like wearing a costume for Losers

They wouldn't have to destroy much to make a major impact is all I'm saying. In terms of cost to replace, in terms of explaining the failure to the public, political fallout, this is a completely different time than the 1940s with our country in a much, much, more prominent global position.

>US Destroyer smashed on the side
>Flip ship dinged on the front

Hmmm... Yes, the Destroyer clearly ran into the Cargo ship.

Obviously the American captain fucked up. It sucks. Let this be a lesson to you navigators out there.

What happened? Looks like Adm Harry Harris was trying to send a message to the Philippinos by doing a starboard pass and forcing them to stop. The Philippines has earned the ire of Pro Council Harris by acting like they are a sovereign nation or something.

Feel sorry for the dead kids. They deserve better than this.

>>130253229
I also wondered about this. How is it possible to have a collision with a huge merchant vessel?

The entire bridge asleep not paying attention? Is it a form of playing chicken at sea?

This is a fucking dumb joke.

A navy quartermaster would have planned out such an event and if he fucked up the ship wouldn't have that crap just magically appear on radar. On top of that its a fucking LIGHTHOUSE and of all things a vessel would have spotted it unless the lighthouse wasn't doing what it was supposed to be doing.

>t Ex Navy fag.

Everyone in this thread doesn't know what they are talking about. Merchant ships are fucking huge two or three times as big as a destroyer, and when you have two ships that weigh tons of tons that collide it would cause a lot of damage between both of the ships. If it were any other country's dinky ass ship it would have got torn in half. The fact that only the starboard brake got structural damage is really quite impressive.

>>130266024
Ships are ordered to maintained thier position regardless how other ships get close to them. I agree that the bridge Co should have given the order to move but their could be many reasons why they couldn't. One very real possibility is that engineers were doing maintenance on the GTMs and the ship couldn't get enough speed to move out of the way. When you sail the seas many merchant ships have never seen a destroyer so they were just probably getting a closers look. And foolishly crashed into the much smaller naval ship

The russians developed a rocket launcher system which perfectly fits into a usual cargo container that is used all over the world and are willing to sell to interested third parties. Imagine the kind of paranoia the US Navy must experience when suddenly every cargo ship in the world becomes a viable threat.

>>130248985
How do these things happen.
A destroyer is big, a merchant vessel is even fucking bigger.

How hard is it to simply adjust your course so you don't get hit.
I saw in an article that the merchant ship basically did a U-turn, hit the destroyer and then went on with it's course.

was it intentional?
