The sudden turn was due to “a series of missteps” that took place at the control of the John S. McCain that unintentionally increased the rate of the vessel’s turn, the report by the Transport Safety Investigation Bureau said.

Ummm, what was the 'series of missteps'? That's what people want to know...

Try googling. I recall reading a decent explanation of the series of missteps several month ago. The Navy released details.

As I recall, primary steering was suddenly mucked up and was transferred to a different station that could have corrected the situation, but the transfer order wasn’t understood properly and mistakes multiplied from there. (all of the above is in non-Navy talk, including “mucked up,” by the way.)
