I really don’t know why ships, schools, roads, parks, bridges etc are named after living persons.
John McCain name has cursed this ship and its crew.

It is not named for the current senator. The ship is named jointly for the father and grandfather, both deceased and both were distinguished US Navy Admirals. Whatever one thinks about the senator, the ship is not named for him but he happens to share the name.

regardless of high tech and extraordinary equipment.The best way not to run into another ship is you don't continue on a collision course. It's pretty easy. It takes some training because instead of a pedal, brakes and steering wheel, you have to learn to use your words: all stop, or ahead flank, or left 20 degrees rudder, steady course 180. And because ships are slow to respond, you have to think ahead. But anyone who can drive a car has the requisite skills to avoid going around hitting things.

There is no hacking of a man with eyes, binos, a watch, a compass, and a chart.
There is however negligence, dereliction of duty, incompetence, and delegating authority based on political correctness and not on merit.

It’s the ONLY reason I would say something that I HOPE IS absurd.
Unless he really place THOUSANDS of utter morons at the helm.

What’s up is that they are spending most of their time in Cultural Marxism Class instead of Seamanship and Navigation.
And today’s young adults believe that technology takes care of everything.

Do we really think that hi-tech ships that can’t detect and avoid cargo ships actually have the capability of fending off ship killing missiles? My thought exactly. Doesn't inspire much confidence.
