Check out the Alnic MC tracking-

As I understand it, the purple stripe separating the inbound/outbound traffic at Singapore is about a couple hundred yards wide.
The Alnic MC was traveling 9.2 knots per hour and was about a 100 yards or so starboard the purple stripe (denoting the traffic separation zone).
The USS McCain was destined for Singapore. Somehow the USS McCain gets in front of the Alnic MC and gets hit. Why was the USS McCain heading across the Traffic Separation Zone when its destination was Singapore?

What I read after it happened it was the freighter that turned. There are some allegations supported by videos that other nations’ militaries have been doing practice runs of container ships turning to collide with other ships as a form of attack.
