Was it hacked? Doubtful. Was it RAMMED? Definitely. What do we know about the master & crew of the tanker? Nobody's saying jack. Have we entered a new phase of Naval terror using tankers/freighters to run down naval vessels? Hey, i'm paranoid (ask the VA)... but still...

Even if it was rammed - this is a frigging destroyer! It should have seen a freighter coming MILES AWAY and in plenty of time to take evasive action. This type of ship has 4 General Electric LM2500-30 gas turbines with two shafts that exceed 100,000 total shaft horsepower. It has an almost instantaneous flank speed in excess of 35 knots There is something wrong here - something seriously wrong.

LTC Orlando Illi - DDG's are capable of stopping within their own length from FLANK SPEED. No one's ramming one with a merchant ship unless the crew is asleep.

Just looking at the pic... that's a clean hit straighton... the DDG can out accelerate & out maneuver a tanker too (duh!) ... i dunno, nothing makes sense. How can a tanker t-bone a DDG in the straits?

Not a sailor but that was my question how the heck does a lumbering tanker or freighter ram a high tech destroyer. Even if the civilian ship wanted to ram it.

Man we have to have licenses for a truck, dozer, generator; don't the ship helmsmen have to have a license or something to be running a big assed boat?

Sgt Wayne Wood - Fuk no wonder they are hitting shit and being run down with no one steering the damn things. Probably aught to reinstate those offensive helmsmen positions. ;)
