Destroyer gets run over

The USS Fitzgerald, an Arleigh Burke class guided missle destroyer, collided with a container ship off of Japan. Given the radar on that sort of ship, it is beyond me to understand how this could have happened. My guess is that the Naval Board of Inquiry won't understand how either, and that the Captain's career is in ruins. Four sailors medevaced, including the CO,and seven are missing.

How in seventeen hells does something as big as a container ship get close enough to run over you without anyone noticing?

Connecticut NBC station won't air Megyn Kelly interview with Alex Jones

Good for them. Fuck Alex Jones.

 

You just flipping channels and commenting on whatever's on grandpa?

 

They must have been playing chicken

 

The Japanese ship had its blinker on for 20 miles, and by the time the Fitzgerald's captain realized it wasn't going to turn it was too late.

 

The Wreck Of The Fitzgerald.

 

This will be the spin on this.

"Blah blah military is a disaster blah
Blah such a disaster we have antiquated navigation systems blah blah we use a globe and a compass blah blah Eighty trillion in additional funding requested."

 

Thanks, Trump!

 

Yeah, I thought that hitting just about anything costs you your command.

 

Tough week for the Navy between the "missing" crewman and this. I'm sure the Sec. of the Navy is getting an earful. Oh, that's right he still hasn't been confirmed by the Senate.

 

You are correct.

 

Yawn. Russians hacked radar. Yawn.
