Here and on other forums on the Internets Tubes, people are asking the question," How could they not see the tanker?"
Well they probably did see the tanker. They are pretty big. However, seeing it and avoiding it in a narrow channel is different. These were not two big boats all alone in the middle of a big ocean. They were in probably the most heavily traveled 2 mile wide channel in the world. Clearly mistakes were made and people need to be held accountable for any mistakes. But I really don't think that not seeing the tanker/destroyer was the issue.

AN/SPS-67 (AN/SPS-(V)2 onboard Burkes, pic below) which is digital version of AN/SPS-10 (pic below) and AN/SPS-73 (AN/SPS-73(V)12 onboard Burkes, no pic). AN/SPS-67 is military radar used for surface search and navigation. AN/SPS-73 is militarized civilian Furuno radar. If I have understood this correctly both radar sets use console originally developed for AN/SPS-73 and that console is in bridge. I would appreciate if some Navy people here could say is that true?

Ships going through the straits would have a special sea detail with the navigator, ood and radarman and sonar and CIC all on special alert.
Does anyone know what time this occured, day or night? and yes ships do run over whales, but surely not on purpose. My boat the USS Salmon SS 573 ran over a whale one time in the North Pacific. Conn/sonar "what was that bump?" Sonar/conn "not sure sir we are surrounded by biologistics" "our best guess it that it was a whale sir" Conn eye We didn't go back to check lol
