I spent several years home ported in Yokosuka. Sea Traffic does get a little heavy in that area but with todays electronic technology there should be no excuse for what happened. <br /><br />Old John (CTRC USN Ret)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878424457397188704.post-28140310596926606892017-06-18T07:26:35.235-08:002017-06-18T07:26:35.235-08:00Hmmm!

If that is the case it was a deliberate ramming and no accident.

The press keeps saying that the destroyer crashed in to the container ship, however it looks to me to be the other way around. Looks to me that the cargo ship T boned the destroyer.
