    The plot thickens...

    TOKYO, June 26 (Reuters) - A U.S. warship struck by a container vessel in Japanese waters failed to respond to warning signals or take evasive action before a collision that killed seven of its crew, according to a report of the incident by the Philippine cargo ship's captain.

    In the first detailed account from one of those directly involved, the cargo ship's captain said the ACX Crystal had signalled with flashing lights after the Fitzgerald "suddenly" steamed on to a course to cross its path.

    The frustrating thing is the public gets spoon fed this info and people eat it up without being objective what so ever

      I feel the same way. This is a US warship. If it is bumbling around the oceans like a blind person, it needs to get a white cane and hold it up so it doesn't get run over. That's why they invented radar, so you can see the other ships out there. The navy should spring for one of those. It beats guessing where the enemy ships are.

      There is something being withheld or a coverup. The guy at the helm was drunk or something.

        I'm no expert on marine navigation, but what else are you suggesting happened?

          It's just hard to believe that a highly sophisticated US Navy warship some how accidentally collided with a simple cargo ship. Something isn't adding up.
