Why,apparently, did both navy ship get damaged so close to the

20-25
mph collision? Is it blut force trauma, or do they drown inside the
ship because that section gets sealed off (no escape) to save the
rest of the ship. One of you probably has some educated opinions.
Thanks, Ivan Vegvary


I think that they got hit by bulbous bows... And people live inside
those compartments... The series of accidents looks quite
suspicious...


Maybe they bought the hydraulic seals for the steering gear from a new
lowest bidder?
