So now the world knows they can ram one of our destroyers with a merchant ship.

[The Fitzgerald was named after whom?]
I think Ella Fitzgerald, according to Cosmo Kramer.

Well, it’s not like they just discovered a new tactic.

That damage doesn’t look like it could cause her to take on water, yet you can see she is pumping. Is there more damage below the water line, I wonder? That huge bow bulb below the surface probably stove in the side of the destroyer below the waterline.

Navy Times article says skipper is Bryce Benson or something like that. I don’t have the article up anymore.

I was in Japan 58-61. Army, 5 man detachment on Navy Base Kami Seya near Yokohama. Bought a ‘52 Studebaker from a Navy 1st Class who had re-upped and had a new Triumph TR3 waiting at his next duty station. Traveled all over Honshu in that Studebaker. Ugly as sin, but it was a ride, anyhow. Great memories. Hung out at the beach at Enoshima, too.

Yikes.
The insurance company is going to total it and we’ll be out of pocket for the replacement cost.

It doesn't look like that'll buff right out. :(

There are narrow sea lanes there with a lot of traffic. Even with your radar on you are on visual alert.
A container ship will travel pretty far even in full astern and strong current. They’re BIG. It’s possible the container ship strayed off course or even purposely rammed the destroyer. Lot’s of true believers in the Philippines.
Would the Captain fire hell into a close commercial container ship that suddenly maneuvers into him broadside or would he hold fire?

the Fitzgerald had previously made a port of call at Subic Bay, PI. The cargo ship was PI. What are the odds?
