text: Agree.  Also despite some news stories describing the fully loaded container ship Crystal making 'quick' or 'sudden' turns, including a 180 degree maneuver, it is physically impossible for such a massive container ship to make ANY quick or sudden maneuvers or sharp turns while running at sea.  For a US military destroyer with the latest in radar, sonar, etc for superior detection of ANY potential hostile or otherwise approaching ship or aircraft, etc. it is clear the US captain & his commanding officers are automatically at fault.  Like the Exxon Valdez that collided with a stationary Alaskan reef, the collision occurred late a night, & most likely the commanding officers where sleeping, leaving inexperienced people in charge to run and navigate the ship .  Because 7 US servicemen died, not only should the officers in charge be dishonorably discharged, some need to spend a couple of years in military prison as well.
