Message Subject BREAKING: USS Porter collides with Japanese-owned tanker near Strait of Hormuz!
Poster Handle Anonymous Coward
Post Content
How does a warship collide with an oil tanker in this day and age? The same way a giant cruise ship can hit an island. All the navigational aids and devices in the world don't amount to shit if you're stupid. Or doing something other than what you're supposed to be doing.

Let me add to that these sailors work such long hours and are so sleep deprive sometimes that at 1 AM that could of being a factor.

I know. I was a Radioman on the USS Shenandoah AD44. I remember the captain of the USS Yellowstone AD41 turning his ship on such a sharp degree that crew members were injured and almost capsized. I know shit happens. But being in charge means just that. If you are tired, or are not up to the task at the moment, you pass the command along to another who is ready and alert. Just sayin.
