Regardless of what was going on, the DDG has much more maneuverability. Most telling is that they are not sure they called the CO to the bridge. Again, as I have said many times, we need professional LDO type Officers of the Deck, that that is there only job. Not as it is now, where it is a stepping stone to get one of many needed qualifications. SN Greg Wright

It was always going to be partially Fitz's fault. They were the give-way vessel, and did not give way. That said, the Crystal will also be found at fault, I think we'll find.

Or maybe a SWO academy of some sorts. We don't let pilots fly without almost two years of intense training, but a warship.....do this PQS and you're good to go. Make it difficult and strenuous, weed out the ones that can't hack it before they get to a ship.
