2d US Navy ship in as many months (is rammed the correct word)?




The guided-missile destroyer USS John S. McCain was involved in a collision with the merchant vessel Alnic MC while underway east of Singapore and the Strait of Malacca, according to officials with U.S. 7th Fleet Public Affairs.
There are ten sailors missing and five injured, officials say.
The collision was reported at 6:24 a.m. Japan Standard Time, while the ship was transiting to a routine port visit in Singapore.
The ship is currently sailing under its own power and heading to port.
Initial reports indicate John S. McCain sustained damage to her port side aft. The extent of damage and personnel injuries is being determined.
I GOT TO ASK, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

    Something is weird. These ships have 3 radars, 2 sonars, 3 people on watch at all times and a skipper. Highly maneuverable with the ability to power out of the way of a calamity. Two times in 2 months? I don't buy any of it. Question, does Trump have control of the military? What is really going on?

    The ship kept steering left when it claimed to be going right, kinda like McCain.
