The collision created a 3-by-5-foot dent on Lake Champlain, before the South Korean ship pivoted to its right and scraped the ship’s side. U.S. sailors inside reported a bulge on an inside wall, or bulkhead, of the ship, but the vessel did not take on water and no one was injured, the report said.

I find it depressing really that all of these recent crashes cite a fault of some sort in GP or radar. YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING MORE THAN YOUR EYES TO KEEP FROM HITTING ANOTHER SHIP! There endeth my rant....
Had a smart CO once tell me that he didn't care how well I was on station, if I hit something. Used to make me drive the ship by eyeball. The only rule you need to know: Constant bearing decreasing range is a problem. Turn or change speed. Simple as that....

You CO was right, that is a fact that has been unchanged since log rafts were high tech.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - They are relying too much on technology. Sure, it is cool for the radar to give you a course and speed to get out of trouble, but all it takes is a little basic seamanship...

This seems more like the plot of a Hollywood farce tan the US navy at work.
