At 7:27, look how short of a distance it needs to make a 90 degree turn.
I don't see any scenario where they can't evade it, even for hollywood standards it's quite unrealistic.
It takes miles too change course on a tanker (as stated in the article), which means you can anticipate your course miles ahead. Even a child with basic math can figure this equation out.
I don't know, secret US stalking off ships gone wrong, Korean infiltration, GPS spoofing, corrupt crew, lazy crew, crash on purpose..
What do we really know, it's military in the end, which means a potential for classified info being held back. If it's a fatal technical flaw, they would not tell that to public media I figure, for political reasons.
