As Sailors’ Bodies Are Flown to U.S., Fitzgerald Inquiries Intensify

It all comes down to when the collision occurred. If it was before the u-turn, the likelihood of a deliberate act is nearly zero. If it was after....well. That goes pretty high in my mind. They haven't ironed that out yet. Well, they probably have, but haven't announced.

Why are Admirals stating this happens frequently? I can not remember reading about a Naval vessel getting run over. Attacked by bomb yes, run over no.
Am I smelling cover up? The crew on board the cargo ship, do you know their names?

As a Sailor I have so many questions, first HOW??? How did the Combat Watch team, the Bridge team and the lookouts miss a Slow Cargo container barreling down on them? They have the Rader Sig a blind man could see, they are light up like a football stadium, and don't do anything that could be called stealth. IF it had made a few U-Turns this should have alerted Combat to watch them, When it entered a 1 mile perimeter Everyone should have been on alert. To let it close to striking distance while your both under power.... This is a Warship so if this WAS an attack... again WTF? How? How did every person on watch allow this to take place?

Time lines, distress calls, possible attack, accident, yad yad yad none of it matters, 7 of our Brothers are dead. There are Two Watch teams have some answering for how they allowed this to happen. This scream negligence to me.
