One lady I work with has a son who served on the Fitzgerald. He finished up 6 months ago. He is having a hard time as you can imagine.

how on gods green earth does one of our cutting edge destroyers manage to run into another ship.  hell in the gulf of Aden they can track skinny pirates in rubber rafts MILES away

This may have been an act of war since the Philippine leadership is acting undemocratic now.

What I don't understand is why that container ship altered course so many times prior to the collision. Here's a link that shows the big U-turns it made...
