U.S. warship stayed on deadly collision course despite warning – container ship captain
A U.S. warship struck by a container vessel in Japanese waters failed to respond to warning signals or take evasive action before a collision that killed seven of its crew, according to a report of the incident by the Philippine cargo ship’s captain.
Multiple U.S. and Japanese investigations are under way into how the guided missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald and the much larger ACX Crystal container ship collided in clear weather south of Tokyo Bay in the early hours of June 17.
In the first detailed account from one of those directly involved, the cargo ship’s captain said the ACX Crystal had signaled with flashing lights after the Fitzgerald “suddenly” steamed on to a course to cross its path.
The container ship steered hard to starboard (right) to avoid the warship, but hit the Fitzgerald 10 minutes later at 1:30 a.m., according to a copy of Captain Ronald Advincula’s report to Japanese ship owner Dainichi Investment Corporation that was seen by Reuters.
The U.S. Navy declined to comment and Reuters was not able to independently verify the account.
The collision tore a gash below the Fitzgerald’s waterline, killing seven sailors in what was the greatest loss of life on a U.S. Navy vessel since the USS Cole was bombed in Yemen’s Aden harbor in 2000.

There are more people on the bridge of that warship at any time given 24/7 than would inhabit that entire merchant vessel

Its important to focus on the container ship and why they didn't get straight on the radio, yeah the container ship!, not the fully armed and equipped warship with millions of dollars of equipment and a full armourment of various missiles
The question is, the container ship WTF

Another focus of the probes has been the length of time it took the ACX Crystal to report the collision. The JCG says it was first notified at 2:25 a.m., nearly an hour after the accident.
They didn't just scratch the paint and do a runner! Surely someone reported it, wasn't it all over the radio, did they think no one would notice, none of this makes sense

This sounds like the Hasting hack but with a ship. Cruising along, everything is cool then suddenly gets a suicidal urge to swerve in front of (In this case) a container ship, the said container ship did a U turn, over the course of an hour, to check out the damage, before the Warship noticed it had been hit and realised it had a problem. Whats wrong with this picture?
