<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nCNN<\/a> quotes unnamed officials who blame the Navy for the collision between USS FITZGERALD and the ACX Crystal last month which cost seven sailors their lives;<\/p>\n The initial findings are just the first stage in what is expected to be a lengthy inquiry. Both officials said the initial investigation found that the Fitzgerald crew failed to understand and acknowledge the cargo ship was approaching and failed to take any action necessary to avoid the collision. It’s also not clear if the crew ever called the commanding officer to come to the bridge.<\/p>\n The officials say investigators are also looking at the possibility that the ship was traveling at a higher speed than expected in order to reach a location it was due to arrive at the next next day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I don’t think it’s news that two people who may or may not have a connection to the investigation talk to CNN without giving their names. But, you know, CNN has such a great reputation for accurate coverage of news, who can doubt them (that was sarcasm). <\/p>\n I’m only mentioning the story to stem the emails to my inbox. I have no confidence in this article.<\/p>\n
