JFK: The unfit commander of a high performance boat that that on a calm clear night managed to be surprised and rammed by an enemy vessel many times larger and less maneuverable than his own.

The only way a destroyer could have snuck all the way up on a PT boat on a combat mission and cut it in half, is if the crew of the PT boat was asleep.

Period.
