    The wifeys whole family is Navy. IIRC she said that the bigger ship has the right of way. Although I read an article that said the freighter went hard right traveled a while and then busted a u turn. So their erratic movements may play into fault some.

    not sure who's technically at fault, but with all the people we keep on those vessels i dont see how it could happen.

    Ok but can we really say that there is a japan? I mean it could just be open ocean.

    update from the local Japanese news source:





    A record aboard a Philippine container ship involved in a collision with a US destroyer shows that it took a sharp right turn southeast of the Izu Peninsula around 1:30 AM, about an hour before the collision was reported.


    The record shows that the merchant ship, the ACX Crystal, then navigated east for about 30 minutes before making a U-turn and doubling back into the waters where the collision took place.

    The ship left Nagoya, central Japan, for Tokyo on Friday evening, and passed south of the Izu Peninsula on Friday at midnight.
    not sure who's technically at fault, but with all the people we keep on those vessels i dont see how it could happen.

    Out of respect for those who serve I withhold comment on the O.P. and attention whoring.

    Probably. Given the source its safe to question whether or not japan actually exists.

    Seven US sailors are missing and a commanding officer of a US destroyer is injured after the warship and a merchant ship collided off Japan, the US Navy said.


    Washington (CNN)Seven US sailors are missing and one has sustained a head injury after a US destroyer collided with a merchant ship about 56 nautical miles off the coast of Yokosuka, Japan, the Japanese coast guard has told CNN.

    The USS Fitzgerald suffered damage to its starboard side above and below the waterline, resulting in some flooding, the Navy said.
    A Navy official told CNN the destroyer is under its own power but has limited propulsion.
    The vessel was taking on water after the incident, but the crew was working to stabilize the ship by pumping water out of the hold, a US Navy official told CNN.
