The McCain was fully disabled and not moving when the merchant oil tanker hit it 100% proof !

From that pic you can tell the McCain was dead in the water. There is no shear damage from a ship under power. It was a direct hit ! The McCain would have been under full power to get out of the way of a ship that was 4 times it's size. It was also full daylight as far as I know. No shear no power. Look at where the "V" shaped part of the haul hit the war ship. Not one inch of shear. Look at the photo: [ link to twitter.com (secure)] Also being hit from the side, if there was any forward or reverse motion of the warship there would have been at least a few feet of shear damage. Maybe even a few inches. The "V" from were the oil tanker hit it shows that the McCain was not in any forward or reverse motion. Anyone that knows metals would understand that this warship was disabled. The USS McCain had lost steering - so it was a sitting duck. "A US Navy official told CNN the USS John S McCain had experienced a loss of steering before the collision with the 30,000 ton, 600 foot long oil tanker but was steaming under its own power to port despite limited propulsion and electrical power." [ link to www.theaustralian.com.au] (I did not go to CNN to find the original because fuck them). Another lie. If it had power it had some kind of steering. It has at least two propellers or screws on each side of the keel. You can still steer the ship but its not maneuverable. Power down one side and power up the other screw. Still does not explain the non-shear condition. They say they had power but no steering ? It was daylight. They could have steered away from that other tanker vessel as the centuries would have seen it at least 10 nautical miles. They could have started steering the ship long before it got hit. Another lie.
