The guided-missile destroyer USS John S. McCain was involved in a collision with a merchant vessel east of Singapore and the Strait of Malacca, the Navy said in a tweet. Initial reports indicate the warship sustained damage to its port side aft. No immediate word on any casualties. Search and rescue efforts are under way in coordination with local authorities, the Navy said. LinkThis message has been edited.

I hope all aboard are safe and accounted for. Now... can we rename that boat? Actually, I'm sure it's named after the elder so I guess it's OK. "Some things are apparent.

It is named for his father and grandfather, both 4 stars, of course. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

It does make you wonder if someone has figured out a way to spoof the navigation. Let's hope the Navy can figure this out before there is a third time. Once is an accident. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is an enemy action. ~ Goldfinger (Ian Fleming) I believe in coincidences. I just believe they are rare, else they would be called common. The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

Wow! How can the US Navy fight a war if it can not even see merchant ships? “We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this.

Linky is in collusion with the ship's nav, I'm guessing. No workee.

WTFO? Is the quality of training and qualifying watchstanders in the toilet these days? And have the leaders become wimps with all the PC bullshit?

How is it possible for these ships to get so close to our Naval vessels..? Twice? "Pickin' stones and pullin' teats is a hard way to make a living.
