my understanding is that this is something like the 4th collision in 5 years or so and all are from the 7th fleet. looks like maybe it is time for some new leadership in that fleet.

They are saying now that the USS John S McCain suffered a steering gear failure. Still leaves a lot of questions.



this is a link to cnn,, cant figure out how to have destination show consistently Official: US Navy ship lost steering control before collision - CNNPolitics


turns out that if the page has index.html in the url, the link wont fly
