USS Fitzgerald Collision

[Mr Quatro]

Do warships have satellite tracking navigation like cruise ships?

Jim can follow his son on a cruise ship all over the world, right?

They have something called a transponder, right?

Do USN have transponder's?

What if the transponder told the shipping world around the USS Fitzgerald, "Here I am hit me"?

What if the container ship turned off his transponder and the bridge didn't respond to radar thinking that it could just be a fishing boat?

Plus I think the container ship was slowing down when it hit ... looks like just a glancing blow to me. If was it going 14 kts it would've cut the Fitzgerald in half.

Plus, now I hear that the collision may have taken place much sooner around 1:30am.

Acting Navy Secretary Sean Stackley vowed that service officials would answer the question everyone is now asking: how it could have happened.

"In due time, the United States Navy will fully investigate the cause of this tragedy," he said, "and I ask all of you to keep the Fitzgerald families in your thoughts and prayers as we begin the task of answering the many questions before us."
