I just posted the link to the 7th Fleet dispatch on the incident. Not much is known, other than that "search and rescue operations are underway." Take that for what it's worth.

I'm wondering what's going on with the Navy's ship driving skills myself, though I was in no way a SWO and I'm not competent to answer that question. That'd be within Mr. Slowguy's ambit for sure.

There's probably mistakes all the way up and down the line for things like this to happen (forget the whole Fat Leonard deal). It takes a team effort to fuck up that bad.

That's why the top.
