US destroyer involved in collision.

Seven US crew members are missing after the Navy USS Fitzgerald was involved in a collision with a merchant ship carrying containers off the coast of Japan.
How does such a thing happen?
I always thought ship, especially destroyers and battle fleets have state of the art radar systems to detect objects coming near the ship some as little as a torpedo.

The hit destroyer.

The damaged ship is taking in water but has been stabilized to prevent it from sinking as it’s being towed back to shore.

Hii tuliona ile Siku nilikuoa pale Ktdral

Weka link mzee wangu ning’oe hii thread.

:eek::eek::smiley:

so seven marines most likely fell in the water

:D:D and behold Mrs. Bingwa

What was the sheep doing coast of Japan? Si ingetuliza makende kwao.

And when a thing like that happens, wanachukua abstract police station ya Japan ama ya USA? Na hizo sheeps sacco yao itakuwa suspended na NTSA ya Japan?

We are in a difficult relationship.

saw it on a Japanese tv in the. morning…hio meli ingine yenye ilikua involved kwa hio collision (Filipino ship ) ilionekana ikitake a sharp turn at some point so maybe that was the cause …

but from your questions of why the state if the art ships collide, i think its because such colossal ships take time and distance in order to change direction so it makes it very difficult to change course when another vessel is heading your way…

uli skip class two heheh ati sheep?

Haikosi walikuwa na ufala kama hii ad…

Destroyers rarely embark marines. Those are sailors.

The most likely navy ships you’ll find marines are the amphibious assault ships and in limited numbers and rarely, marine corp pilots on aircraft carriers.

Collision warning iko lakini human error ni difficult to correct when dealing with such behemoths.

Reason I posted this US media were all over yapping about ‘horrendous standards’ when a Russian naval ship was involved in such a collision recently.

Is USS Nathan James real?

Hehehehehe

hiyo container ship kuna mtu hapa alikuwa amenunua gari pale SBTjapan sasa imeeenda Na maji.

By name, no but they did film on an actual destroyer.
