Gross Tonnage They have it. It's only supposed to apply to ships under 65 feet, but just like the 18 wheeler going 56 MPH that cuts into the fast lane and blocks cars going 70 to pass another truck going 54 MPH, they don't really give a fuck and extend their "law of gross tonnage" attitude to just about everyone. They'll flat out run over boats in the Port of Houston shipping channel. |

The ladder on the damaged side would likely have been destroyed however, they could enter the space from the other side. Edit: Its been over a year since I've walked on a DDG put I'm almost positive there is a 3rd way out. On the upper berthing port side there is a gear locker and next to it is another escape scuttle and it would open up in the passageway above it. I could be thinking of one other aft berthings. |

Agreed and I'd bet it was because they were either dead or close to it. There is also a row of racks (bunks) on that side about 5 to 6 ft away from the damaged bulkhead. Some of our racks are directly on the bulkhead. I was wondering if it was the same for the Navy or we're just that expendable.  I was wondering because if they were like us the numbers for the deceased would make sense.

I hang a radar reflector in the flybridge when in open water, but I don't know how much it helps. I'm maybe a 2 on a scale of 10 when it comes to maritime capability, so I hate to even weigh in on threads like this. I've not been able to successfully differentiate between other vessels and weather on radar, which makes navigation in weather at night in particular such a risky thing. I have no idea if this is relevant to the problems with the Fitzgerald collision, but 'noise pollution' is a very real thing in my experience. For those that were asking about why it's tough to keep track of other vessels in a crowded channel - here's a shot I found online of a radar with AIS overlay in a channel with minimal traffic. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/4267/Radar-with-AIS-234923.jpg Once one gets used to looking at a radar you learn to pick stuff out. On most of the tugs I've worked on we have plain Jane early to mid 90's sets. No overlays or anything fancy like that. I can pick out a helicopter, small boats, squalls, and if it's tuned in real good a flock of birds. I'm used to picking something up on the radar and comparing it to either something on the chart, an AIS contact on the chart plotter, or using MK 1 eyeball. So in my case I'm independently comparing stuff to make sure of what it is. The new modern ECDIS sets like what the ship and Fitz most likely have have all of that info (save MK 1 eyeball) in one display so I can see how you would get reliant on one. I've been in NY harbor before where Ive turned the AIS tracklines and heading markers off because it was like a bowl of noodles. Shit was going everywhere. |

NYT Looking more like what many here (me included) believe, the first 90 degree turn on the AIS track was the collision and that the "U-turn" was about returning to render assistance, not the merchant pitching in to ram the DDG. Talking to some of the SWOs in the building here, they seem to think that many merchants do not man their engine rooms during the cruise phase of transits, which means that they are unable to exercise full control of their speed.. The delay in returning to the collision site could have been partially due to getting the master's permission to man the engine room and then getting an engineer or two down there.

Changing gears from the speculation at how this happened, the DC's leading the DC repair parties to save the ship deserves all of the recognition. This is why you drill in port and underway, there is nowhere to go at sea, fight to save the ship.
I spent many hours while at condition 1 in the aft repair locker prepared to do what's needed to save the ship. We had some great DC's and I learned a lot from them. Was down a GITMO twice for refresh training, we always left wth lots of E's and a DC |

One of the 7 sailors who died aboard the USS Fitzgerald saved more than a dozen of his fellow shipmates before he ultimately lost his own life, The Daily Beast reported.
When the Fitzgerald collided with the merchant ship, 37-year-old Fire Controlman 1st Class Gary Leo Rehm Jr., "leapt into action," according to The Daily Beast. The Fitzgerald was struck below the waterline, and Rehm Jr.'s family was told by the Navy that he went under and saved at least 20 sailors, according to WBNS-10TV in Columbus, Ohio. But when he went back down to get the other six sailors, the ship began to take on too much water, and the hatch was closed, WBNS-10TV said. http://www.businessinsider.com/this-sailor-sacrificed-himself-save-20-lives-the-uss-fitzgerald-2017-6?utm_content=buffer6fb51&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer-bi |
