Must have been one of them stealth tankers sneaking up on the naval ship.
Forgive a lubber question but they still do have manned lookouts don't they? I would have thought that someone would have casually mentioned that a almost 10,000 ton floaty thing was pretty close. |

Two important DDG's that could be used to shoot down NK missiles too ... :yep:
Submarines have lookouts and a orange flashing light and they don't sneak into these same ports. The submarine lookouts are subject to all of the elements. The OOD is right there with them ... maybe the USN surface craft ships need to learn from the Submarine Service. Do other countries have this problem of warships hitting cargo/freighters/oil tankers? |

ring knockers are placed in position for the safe navigation of a ship by virtue of their office not experience or training. i still say they should be licensed by competent authority. as it stands now it appears the blind are leading the blind.

I think that is endemic to many systems in our brief computer age.
