It’s curious to some that a crew with a heightened alert status, fresh off a mission that defied a major national power, would not notice, or easily avoid a 600-foot Liberian oil tanker.

And how would such a crew not be able to avoid a tanker? They are nowhere near as nimble as a Navy ship. Even your GPS spoofing isn't going to cause them to be unable to avoid a collision. That's a major failure somewhere in the Navy, whether it's inadequate training, inadequate attention to detail, or a failure to maintain standards and basic Naval seamanship. And multiple incidents imply it's not just a single CO, wider spread in the Navy means something bigger is wrong.

If you've just been zapped with an E.M.P Transmitter, and you have no power AT ALL,
then HOW are you going to stop, turn, or do anything to avoid a collision ?
