Unfortunately military ships are expensive and have strict schedules. You may be able to drive your car to a shop any day to diagnose a sensor error but military vessels dont have that luxury. To my knowledge the detection systems (for detecting ships ect) were either not calibrated/failed making a ship impossible to detect. There may have been a serious lack of training spotting sensor failure too. The ship was due for repairs and had been put off. Also, according to SOP there should have been someone making rounds and looking out and identifying ships. Because honestly how do you miss a huge cargo ship lit up like a Christmas tree There were multiple critical failures leading to the crash. Bad training, poor maintenance, and lax procedural compliance.
