How do ships with the most sophisticated search and surveillance gear money can buy keep running into things? I don't understand how this is even possible.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
So the incompetence of the watch officers on our warships means we should start blasting merchant ships going about their way? 
Furthermore the navigation rules are for everyone to follow, including US Navy ships. They aren't special. Granted we don't know the detail with this one yet, but I doubt it's some huge conspiracy. 2. We are special becaues without us and our navy China rapes and pillages all of Asia. 3. Interesting how tensions in Asia ramp up and suddenly collisions start happening. Not saying that it IS sabotage but I am saying that China and NK certainly have motive for such sabotage. |

Of course without us China never would have the coin to rape and pillage all of asia. Older generations sold much of the economy that made them wealthy to China and now their Starbucks barrista grandchildren may end up having to shed blood because of it. Ironic and sad and I pray God saves us. |

Maybe the Chinese have learned how to spoof the nav systems. Or maybe some sailors just need to do their jobs right.

Shit Johnie Wet Start has ship named after him. Caused the death of 154 sailors on the USS Forestall and a traitor to the POW/MIA cause. and a North Vietnamese informant know as the "SONG BIRD"....no wonder this country is screwed with idiots like that in Congress...! Nothing but a POS RHINO who sleeps with Soros and any muslum for a dollar donation to his McCain FOUNDATION slush fund.... He had to unbuckle all his safety harnesses and climb out onto the refueling probe on the side of the A-4 and jumped onto the deck and ran like hell. 
HOW THE FUCK WAS MCCAIN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF 154 SAILORS FROM A MISSILE THAT ACCIDENTALLY HIT A PLANE NEXT TO HIS WHILE HE WAS PARKED WAITING TO LAUNCH??? Just stop posting shit you have no clue about. |

Does it frighten anyone else how badly and easily damaged these "fighting" ships are?? WTF happen if they take one single missile strike? Mine or torpedo?? I'm guessing total loss. |

The USS Samuel B. Roberts and USS Stark both survived after hitting a mine and absorbing Exocets missile. I believe both of those ships are a testament to the ruggedness of our surface ships and our Damage Control expertise. If either the Fitzgerald or McCain needed to be in the fight, they would still be fighting albeit was less capabilities but fighting nonetheless. |

I sure hope this is the case. To my uneducated mind they seem overly fragile to take a solid hit and survive much less continue to fight. Things may have changed considerably since then but the Stark was a nightmare scenario, caught unaware with no watertight conditions set and they saved that ship probably based on sheer human will and training. |
