US destroyer collides with merchant ship near Singapore

[pismoe]

just my commonsense theory that the USA has to be the best and strongest military in the world . Without the best military in the world the USA is weak like everyone else . Previous Generations of Americans understood that the USA Military and secure borders has to be number 1 concerns . ------------------- AS EXAMPLE , look at how the 'norks' just backed down a few days ago . Problem is that both the 'nork' and mrobamas muslim friends in 'iran' are going to keep pushing and are going to have to be dealt with .

Some people don't (can't?) understand America's true strength.

From what I am reading, if it was in the straits traffic there is super crowded.

Yes it is a major maritime chokepoint and therefore has a lot of traffic.

The last wreck cause the commander to lose his ship and several sailors disciplined, they were not doing their duty....Those are guys we would pass by and yell out"get a job"..

I also heard the officials are not ruling out a possible cyber hack.

Even if possible, it seems like it would be quite a coincidence they were hacked just when headed for these collisions.

They actually were rammed each time.

Whether the Naval Ship was in the right or wrong, the Naval Ship can manuever much better and faster than a tanker.

it was steering failure

The USS John McCain suffered a steering malfunction when it collided with an oil tanker near Singapore on Monday, according to a US Navy official who spoke to CNN.

i know nothing about it but i heard that reason or excuse . Also heard that ship of this sort have backup steering provisions . [i don't know but that makes sense to me] . That being said , if steering failure is true why was the Commander or main man fired NVet ??

 

[pismoe]

and , just a comment and i don't know if it matters but one poster points out earlier in this thread that the USA Navy Ship was rammed by the commercial ship rather than the Navy ship hitting the freighter NVet .
