Yes, because once a decade one of our 400 naval ships has a survivable collision, we should turn AIS on full time.

- jessaustin 9y ago[EDIT:] I didn't suggest that, but Lieutenant Commander Michael Kiser, USN does suggest that AIS be used in shipping lanes: https://blog.usni.org/posts/2017/06/21/three-changes-the-navy-can-make-to-improve-safe-navigation https://blog.usni.org/posts/2017/06/21/three-changes-the-nav... Also, there are 274 ships in USN. Also, this cargo ship did not intend to collide with the navy ship. In wartime, we can't make that assumption.
