The USS Fitzgerald Is at Fault. This Is Why
- protomyth 9y agoI submitted this not for the kind of click baitish title, but it is a really interesting systems interaction piece. Two different systems with a common protocol that just failed.
- MrZongle2 9y agoSomewhat misleading headline. Last sentence: "For this reason I am 99.9% confident the USS Fitzgerald will be found at fault… and so will the ACX Crystal." While the author makes a compelling case why the Fitzgerald should have avoided the collision, the accident is still under active investigation and thus definitively assigning blame is premature. Information released to the press has been quite limited. Only the crews of both ships have an idea of what actually took place, and the investigators are still in the process of interviewing them and reviewing instrumentation, damage, and onboard recordings.
