Nailed it. This isn't some grand conspiracy.

This happened because of literal fvcking and entitled, equality politics. The Navy's become soft in the whole. Women on board, social media, diversity training, playstations ad nauseum have blurred focus, concentration and doing your fcvking job. Maria, the radar gal was blowing CIC, while bridge watch was deep into a fierce game of Call of Duty.

Don't overthink this. It's just your typical, run-of-the-mill everyday government incompetence on full display.

And who's watch did all of the bullchit start on? Commander and Chief Obama's.

he is right...

EMP? Remotely took control? Only one person could pull that off...

No S#$t I'm right, just look at the available facts, the tanker turned around diverted from its course and rammed the USS Fitzgerald. That's what happened, the media and the Navy is not saying that but that's what happened.

You can think of your own reason why that happened but what it exposed is that somehow this was able to happen when it was thought impossible. Its not an incident of derelict of duty, what do you think there is like two sailors on watch that are responsible for everything and they were off playing video games? there are a whole bunch of technical experts watching all sorts of stuff as well as sailors on the deck on watch and somehow this little tanker got under their noses. I don't think so......

What happened is we were attacked, and someone was able to make the USS Fitzgerald "dead in the water" and either pay off some tanker captain and crew or remotely take control of the ship and use it to ram a US Navy ship off the coast of Japan.

Pure BS. Those ships have ultra redundancy including heavy state-of-the-art electrical shielding. Dead in the water my ass. If that was the case, there would have been full blown all hands on deck. 18's would have been scrambled from the nearest base or carrier. The CIC would not have been in his bunk sleeping. Tankers or any boat for that matter would have been lit up like a Christmas tree outside of 1000 yards. The fact is nobody was paying any attention.

What? Some super secret weapon that can not only incapacitate a US Destroyer but also its entire crew?

lol..OK.

Did I shut down yet another thread?

EW is Electronic Warfare right?

Its happens again within a couple of months,,, coincidence? I think not..

I'll be in China next week, I'll ask them about it.

That might lead one to believe these incidents were caused by negligence rather than sabotage - but I'm going to wait for Rich's take.

Hanlon's Razor = "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

I'm not referring to the boats either.

Likely that the Captains will bear the brunt of the punishment as they are in charge. But it is obvious that training leaves a lot to be desired if a ship that moves as fast as these Navy vessels do collides/is hit by something that moves as slow as those commercial vessels. Stupidity does provide an adequate explanation.

Not very believable. More likely falling on their own swords for the good of the country.

But not Bigfeets. Those are TOTALLY believable.
