Somewhat 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.
