The Fitz’s ECDIS NAV alarms must have been blaring on the bridge and CIC as soon as both ships’ moving havens intersected. Supposedly, that gives you plenty of time to execute collision avoidance regardless of the other vessel’s maneuvers.
But then, remember when GPS was going to solve everything?
That's still the plan. Just wait until driverless cars take over the roadways. GPS and radar will keep everybody safe and happy, just like they did for the USS Fitzgerald.
Right?
