Yet.... it was able to make these unexplainable and unimaginable 'turns'.
I doubt the a container ship’s steering could respond in any fashion quickly enough to hit an alert Destroyer.
The US navy ship was clearly not alert or on guard.
Even if the container ship was bought and paid for to run around like an idiot in the shipping lane, maybe even “have an accident” with an American military vessel, how did the Destroyer let herself get ran into?
I was thinking the same thing. Those kinds of container ships do NOT turn on a dime and it may take them MILES to come to a complete stop. That’s the reason there are shipping channels and strict rules of navigation. I just don’t see how an alert US Navy destroyer would not have seen the potential for collision with all the sophisticated radars and detection devices they are equipped with. Something is missing in this narrative.

A “DLG” is not a destroyer, it’s a guided missile frigate.
