This is purely uninformed speculation. Radar and eyeballs are sufficient to prevent these types of incidents.
Sleep deprivation has continued to be pointed to as a major issue on ships, and yet from the CNO down, this has been ignored and nothing done: https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2017-07/let-our-sailors-sleep https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2017-07/let-our-s...
- extrapickles 9y agoI wouldn't be surprised if sleep deprivation was a leading cause. The military in general has a problem with letting people get enough sleep, especially if the personnel are not on the day shift/watch. With two deadly collisions in the same fleet, I bet there is some silly regulation/task that is keeping watch standers from getting enough sleep. It could be as simple as letting sleeping personnel get pulled into working parties as everyone else is on watch or doing repairs/maintenance. I wouldn't be surprised if things got worse as they pile even more training requirements on trying to fix the issue.
