They have an autonomous mini-ship to track subs. That's the problem , they haven't got figured out how to keep it out of wrecks.

Do captains get in trouble when something like this happens? I'm guessing they could and that there's an intensive investigation.

Inform me if I'm missing something. Prayers sent for the missing and injured. But how in the hell does this happen with today's technology. I realize the area is crowded with ships probably. Someone needs get their ass behind the wheel and turn off autopilot or something. This is ridiculous. Crowded is a major understatement. One of the busiest traffic schemes I have been in. I did not visit the Med or the Red Sea. Those have some rough spots also. A quick look at the damage I would guess the DDG had the right of way but the caveat of everyone is suppose to avoid a collision will cost the CO his job probably.

Throw the sumbitch in reverse! I've always been of the camp that thought you're lucky to get within 200 yards of a naval ship. Same here. It happening one time is a mishap, happening twice in a couple months shows there is a REAL problem.
If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.

I can not figure out how this keeps happening, I know they have all kinds of radar and collision avoidance stuff on these ships, not to mention all the people on watch, I know there is a ton of shipping where this happened and is not on the open ocean but still.....
