Alright. Ok, I guess.
So...a random cargo ship. Ran into a U.S. warship Navy Destroyer by accident. Really guys?
Forgive me. Please. But if that is actually what happened. That would have to be the worst run Naval Ship in history.
Not only would the entire Chain of Command on that ship have to be asleep, they would all have to be blackout drunk on top of that.
I do not know. I'm only saying that I do not believe what they are telling us. I simply don't believe it.
May 9, 2017: A 60- to 70-foot South Korean fishing boat collided with the U.S.S. Lake Champlain, a guided-missile cruiser, on its port side while the cruiser was conducting routine operations in international waters.

Nov. 20, 2014: U.S.N.S. Amelia Earhart and the U.S.N.S. Walter S. Diehl collided during an exchange of goods in the Gulf of Aden. Both ships resupply Navy warships for the United States Fifth Fleet, which is based in Manama, Bahrain.
July 22, 2004: The U.S.S. John F. Kennedy, an aircraft carrier, and a dhow, a small traditional Arab sailing boat, collided in the Persian Gulf.

The following year, on Sept. 14, the U.S.S. Bordelon, a destroyer that was one of the ships that had come to the rescue in the Belknap collision, collided with the Kennedy while refueling alongside the cruiser.
