How in the hell does that happen? It's not like a cargo ship of that size is all that maneuverable. Was the Fitzgerald at anchor?

Pump the brakes, son. A captain is screwed. The Navy will be just fine.

I can't argue that. We still mop the floor with the next 5 navies put together.

How the hell does this even happen? Not like the cargo ship is chugging at 40 knots

I assume the Japanese cargo ship had one, but a quick search identifies the USS Fitzgerald as being commanded by CDR Robert Shu, so yeah.
