They nearly sank the Fitzgerald simply by ramming her. The way the cargo ship steered around the Fitzgerald and then came back to ram her it makes me wonder about a terrorist attack. Maybe they saw the U.S.S. Fitzgerald as a 'soft target'?
My point was, that they did not pick up a large ship going relatively slow, vs a missile going at mach whatever..
It just does not inspire confidence that when one puts it in the context of a potential ICBM strike on the homeland!
I got your point BAYSTATE and I agree. I was trying to make a different point.
