USA: John McCain incident could be due to sabotage or cyber intervention

57
In the US, versions are being put forward regarding the possible reasons for the next collision of a US warship with a civilian vessel Alnic MC. Recall that we are talking about the collision of the destroyer "John McCain" US Navy with a merchant ship in the Malacca Strait. As a result of the collision, the 10 of the US Navy sailors are missing, another five were injured of varying degrees of severity.

Representatives of the US military command have announced that they are considering several versions of the incident, including such as sabotage by individual team members and cyber-interference.

At the moment, the commander of the naval operations of the US Navy, Admiral John Richardson, states that "no signs of cyber intrusion and sabotage have been identified, but all versions will be carefully studied." About this he tweeted, commenting on the process of investigating the causes of the collision of a warship with a civilian merchant ship.

Now the American destroyer is at the Singapore base, where he is examined by experts of the US Navy.

USA: John McCain incident could be due to sabotage or cyber intervention


Meanwhile, a search and rescue operation continues in the Strait of Malacca with the participation of the ships of the Singapore Navy and the United States. Is used aviation. Searches have not yet yielded results.

On the eve of Senator McCain said that we need to pray for the missing sailors.

Recall that the destroyer is named in honor of the two admirals of the US Navy, although in the United States it is generally accepted that in honor of the current senator (former pilot) McCain, too.

        The stump is clear "WE ARE AMERICA" !!!! We are EXCLUSIVE !!! Obama told us this three times a week in official speeches ... Pearl burly, thought the shopkeeper would give in. But the bargainer did not yield for one reason - navigation refused - again, Russian hackers are to blame .... fool And the crew didn’t suffer - again, the Russians are to blame - they are so humane ... And we Americans are tough and furious .....
        Ugh ... After what I wrote on behalf of the Americans, I’ll go wash my hands and brush my teeth ...

          Everything is more complicated here. At one sailor from the destroyer, the grandmother regularly listened to Soviet propaganda on the radio, so her granddaughter was brought up with insufficient respect for American values. Result - put the ax under the compass. And the Commander, the first-time commander, the navigator and the helmsman have absolutely nothing to do with it.

        The insidious tradesman struck “from the port side into the bow of the stern” (yesterday Russia-24 (?) Reported). This is such a tricky method of ramming, even Themistocles used when Salamis. Then it was forgotten due to the difficulty of determining where the stern is at the stern, and America was not at all in the days of Salamis. That was not ready. How many do not look at the radar or at the rate, you will not notice. Such a blow is insidious ...

      “Spaniards: ... says A-853, please turn 15 degrees south to avoid a collision with us. You are moving right at us, a distance of 25 nautical miles.

      Americans: ... we advise you to turn 15 degrees north to avoid a collision with us

      Well, here is a moot point. If the Americans had the starboard side damaged three months ago and therefore there is no question according to the MPPSS, there is interference on the right, then here the damage to the port side and the nature of the movement, the destroyer itself was a hindrance for the trader on the right, unless the Americans intentionally or out of perception made a drastic change your course. If the memory does not change, then with the constant bearing on the target, one of the actions is to change the course by at least 30 degrees, the main thing is not to be mistaken by the side. It is possible that the traders carried the signal "limited in the ability to maneuver" due to rainfall, then they should be inferior to them. Well this is so, reasoning without emotions, an attempt to analyze the accident.

        Andrew, hello!
        The impression is that Amer decided to abruptly cross the course under the tanker's nose. The traces of the pile are right at the Harpoon rocket tubes, and this is 1 / 3 from the transom board. Amer did not have time to remove the tail!
        Another thing is worrying: they have a collision like the 7-10, they flush people overboard ... Maybe they just weren’t on board by now? And the rest is a cover operation ... They say that washed overboard ... I’m sure that from this group of "fell overboard" they will not find anyone.
        And so, there is a theory of "paired cases."
        IMHO.

          Judging by the photo of the hole, this is the only explanation. They both came from the east in the same lane. For some reason, the destroyer turned to the left, violating Rule 10 "Navigation by traffic separation systems" and ran into a tanker’s bulb.

          they have a collision, so 7-10 people wash off overboard ...

          They are still on board. They will be found when the water of their flooded compartment is pumped out. The same story as in Figerald.

          Because of precipitation, they set the signal "constrained by their precipitation", but this is not the case. The tanker went almost in ballast, 12000 tons of cargo out of a possible 50000 and the depths are decent there.

            Confuses in this story, as in the previous one, relatively small damage. Given the difference in displacement, both destroyers would have looked more logically cut in half.

            Boa kaa, welcome, Alexander! I think that they have the principles of a biogas study not ours differ. The bulkheads are sealed, the dead personnel "hangs out" in the flooded compartment or room (or whatever they have built and called). Blow at 90 degrees with a bulb. Indeed, judging by the breach, the tanker was in the ballast, the bulb was high. Well, the speed of the tanker was decent. In general, based on its maneuvering characteristics, on a destroyer, such a thing to do is either a deliberate maneuver, or sheer gouging. Or sheer faith in her exclusivity ...

            I only suggested from the photographs and from the meager information that I had. MPPSS reproduced from memory, yet more than 20 years have passed since I stomp the earth :). Be sure to "upgrade" in memory so as not to look pale in front of the current crew hi. Have a nice swim!

    In boxing terms, the “Fitzgerald” missed a hook on the left, but the “Mac Kane” was kicked in the ass. The crew of the "Mac Kane" fought for survivability. It is evident that he took a lot of water, including due to counter-flooding of the nasal compartments. The destroyer is on an even keel, but it’s noticeable how he “crouched”. If the sea were not so calm, then the consequences would be worse, up to the flooding of the ship.

    Conversation of an American aircraft carrier with a Spanish lighthouse at Cape Finisterre (Galicia).
    Spaniards (clutter in the background):
    - ... Says A-853, please turn 15 degrees south to avoid a collision with us. You are moving right at us, a distance of 25 nautical miles.
    Americans (background noise):
    - We advise you to turn 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision with us.
    Spaniards:
    - The answer is negative. Repeat, turn 15 degrees south to avoid a collision.
    Americans (different voice):
    “The captain of the ship of the United States of America is speaking to you.” Turn 15 degrees north to avoid a collision.
    Spaniards:
    “We do not consider your proposal either possible or adequate; we advise you to turn 15 degrees south so as not to crash into us.”
    Americans (in elevated tones):
    - CAPTAIN RICHARD JAMES HOWARD SPEAKS TO YOU, USS LINCOLN AIRCRAFT COMMANDER OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SECOND BY THE MAJORITY OF THE Navy OF THE AMERICAN Navy. We are escorted by 2 cruisers, 6 destroyers, 4 submarines and numerous support ships. I DO NOT ADVISE YOU - I ORDER TO CHANGE YOUR COURSE BY 15 DEGREES IN THE NORTH. OTHERWISE, WE WILL BE FORCED TO TAKE THE NECESSARY MEASURES TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR SHIP. PLEASE IMMEDIATELY REMOVE OUR COURSE !!!
    Spaniards:
    “Juan Manuel Salas Alcantara is speaking to you.” There are two of us. We are accompanied by a dog, dinner, 2 bottles of beer and a canary, which is now sleeping. We are supported by the radio station and channel 106 “Extreme situations at sea”. We are not going to turn anywhere, given that we are on land and are the A-853 lighthouse on Cape Finisterre of the Galician coast of Spain. We have no idea what place we have in size among the Spanish lighthouses. You can accept everything ... !!! measures that you consider necessary, and do anything to ensure your safety ... !!! ship that will smash into smithereens on the rocks. Therefore, once again, we strongly recommend that you do the most meaningful thing: change your course 15 degrees south to avoid a collision.
    Americans:
    - OK, accepted, thanks.

    The guys who are engaged in marine seismic have repeatedly complained that American naval sailors are generally overgrown — they believe that everyone should give way to them, even in violation of the navigation code. For example, if a seismic survey vessel goes along a “profile” with 10 km of braids overboard and meets an American warship, then an American never changes course or speed to miss a ship that is limited in maneuvering and does not answer radio calls at all, forcing the seismic to turn off or change speed, which dangerous for his outboard equipment. I think here they paid for their arrogance ....
