I think there is a lot more to this than we are hearing. Something is really fishy with 4 similar incidents i a relatively short timespan. And then, seemingly unconected, we have the sonic attack against the US embassy in Cuba. It does make me wonder.

I would think it would pay off more looking for more likely possible root causes. One could look at the culture in the navy, from the top all the way down to individual sailors. Last edited by Von Due; 08-27-17 at 07:38 AM. |

All thoughts to the families of the dead sailors. Did the tanker hit in a bearthing area again?

It is entirely possible that one of many reasons is the not uncommon illness technosis, the delusion that technology replaces entirely the need for humans. Technology is best used as a complement, not a replacement and it is one of several things they might need to look at.

Indeed. Occam's Razor would suggest that's where to start. We'll see where this ends.

Apparently a Chinese ship is supposed to have "shadowed" the tanker. It also seems to have turned sharply to the left just before the collision.
However, ema nimble destroyer should have time to avoid...

Yes, that's what I said. How on earth a destroyer fails to stay clear is utterly bewildering. And as has been proven many times over by now, they really do need to sit down and re-evaluate and reform. Whatever the reason, it's costing lives.
