Too busy to check, right now ... was that the article that said the container ship had been on autopilot, but saw the problem and was slowing down and turning and flashing it's lights at the destroyer all at the same time?

If so then that explains why the ship hit at an angle and wasn't going 14kts or it could've been a lot worse.
