U.S. Arleigh Burke Destroyer Collides with Oil Tanker in Strait of Hormuz

[Bombay Dude]

The U.S. Navy said its guided missile destroyer collided with a Japanese-owned oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz early Sunday morning.

No one was injured in the collision that occurred about 1 a.m. local time when the USS Porter collided with the Panamanian-flagged bulk oil tanker M/V Otowasan, the Navy said in a statement.

The Navy did not provide details about the collision, saying only the accident was not related to combat. It said the incident is under investigation.

Damage to the USS Porter was being evaluated, "but the ship is able to operate under its own power," the statement said.

The Navy did not say what, if any, damage the Otowasan incurred in the collision.

Achha Hai! No Causality and no one got injured

The USN destroyer went emissions silent to avoid detection. That's why they crashed. They are up to no good.

The world is a little bit safer today. Thanks M/V Otowasan.

Aegis radar is for air search only. There is a separate radar for surface navigation.

This reminded me of this story

Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to
avoid collision.

Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the
North to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15
degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again,
divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND
LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE
ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS
SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES
NORTH--I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH--OR
COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

Can't kill what you can't see in the dark.

Man! You make day! Haha haha

Lighthouse loses.

 

[harpoon]

The captain of USS Porter can kiss his career good bye.

Does not matter. The fact that lighthouses are automated -- automation that includes unique identifier -- does not matter.

 

[ahfatzia]

Yes unfortunately, but I'm sure the USS LINCOLN wouldn't fair any better when it collides with the light house. Haha Haha!

BTW, these are the usual attitudes people in authorities have everywhere.
