I realize this is an old thread and he may not ever see this post, but how do you know so much about container ships and nautical speeds, etc? You really seem to know what you're talking about and I don't ever remember reading about you being in the Navy. I'm not trolling, I'm legitimately asking..

NYT published an accident report that was released by the Navy today (yesterday). It doesn't go into the cause of the accident, but covers the damage control efforts between impact and getting dockside in Yokosuka.
