so you didn't come here to go against the USN Admirals, crews after the tragedy happened, no?

Fortunately collisions involving warships are rare so this was the reason I went to this thread which I do not follow because I lack the time to do so. I can have no information on who is responsible for the collision but I followed the pointer to what Forbin claimed was a "official report" to copy the citation of the USN Admiral that irritated me.

Delft is partially correct. There will need to be an investigation of the events that lead to the incident to determine if there was wrong doing by the naval and/or commercial crew.

and I would expect that no "extraordinary courage" was demanded of the crew.

It depends on the measure to which the crew is trained. If the Admiral is right and extraordinary courage was required perhaps USN should look at the quality of crew training.
BTW my house doesn't have a couch and it must be twenty or more years ago that I last drank Grolsch.

so, according to delft, it's either the USN Admiral wrong, or the USN crew wrong

and I described 7 minutes ago
what's irritated me; as I told you, I reported one of your posts, so I expect a Moderator to step in (maybe your points will stand, but I thought you were just trolling here, so maybe it'll be my reactions which will get deleted)

I won't post on this anyway

according to AirForceMag Mattis Supports DOD Unfunded Priorities
Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis reminded Congress on Thursday that it has the power to authorize more money than President Donald Trump requested for the Defense Department in his Fiscal 2018 budget.

Though Mattis defended Trump’s $574 billion DOD base budget, which he said will “start reversing the damage and get us on the right track as we get the strategy right,” he said the $33 billion unfunded priorities list is “an area where the Congress can exercise its oversight and its purse strings, frankly.”

The Air Force submitted $10.7 billion in

for FY18. More than half of that amount ($6.7 billion) would be earmarked for readiness and modernization, including money for 14 more F-35As, three more KC-46s, and 12 more MC-130Js.

Other unfunded modernization priorities include $69 million for nuclear command, control, and communications systems and $99 million for handheld military GPS user equipment.

A $450 million increase in weapons systems sustainment spending, which promotes aircraft availability and full-spectrum training, would bring the service to 92 percent of its sustainment target. The President’s Budget request would leave sustainment at 89 percent.

The unfunded list also includes $848 million for maintenance backlogs that remain unfunded in the Fiscal 2018 budget request, as well as $146 million in readiness spending. In new program development, the Air Force includes $147 million for its Penetrating Counter Air program and $70 million for directed energy prototyping.

Isn't there suppose to be some basic surface radar operating especially at night? It's off the coast of Japan. You'd figure there's a lot of traffic.
