I wrote a couple of days ago about the collision of a U.S. warship with another ship near Singapore and the basics for what it takes for a collision to occur.
Guess what? It happened again today in the same area. This time it was the USS John S. McCain, a destroyer colliding with a merchant ship. Ten sailors from the destroyer are missing as of this writing.
OK, this is ridiculous as well as totally unacceptable. It is rare that a U.S. ship collides with another ship, and now there are two in about two months? This has suddenly become some kind of systemic problem (Unless you want to get into the mindset that bad guys are intentionally trying to collide with the U.S. ships, which is highly unlikely).
Either our training procedures have degraded horrendously, or we as a society have become so dumbed down that we are unable to adequately train personnel. This needs to be addressed ASAP!
