A small ship dodges the first ship by a hair but can't dodge the second one and collides at full speed. The second view is from the angle from the out of control ship. |
Somebody's got some explaining to do.

Oooooooookay. It looks like someone's OOD qualifications will be under review. Not to mention a couple of COs. I wonder where that happened at. I hope nobody got hurt in that evolution.

Fortunately, they don't appear to be US Navy ships.
One of the comments noted (and I believe correctly) that english wasn't being spoken...nor do those caps they're wearing appear to be something you'd see on a US Navy ship? |

There's a flash of the German Federal colors that sent me to my Jane's. They appear to be 10 Type 143 A (Fast Attack Missile). The hull numbers range from P6111 on up. My reference is too old to ID the cruiser/destroyer. The head gear is anyone's guess.

Well then, the bridge crew should have their driver's licenses amended to take away access to the autobahn. These people don't seem to do speed well.
