In Singapore, talked about the causes of the incident with the destroyer "John McCain"

The clash between the American destroyer "John McCain" and a merchant ship near Singapore last summer occurred due to a "sharp turn" of a warship, leading RIA News Excerpts from the Singapore Transport Safety Management Report.

The collision occurred due to a sharp turn of the destroyer "John McCain",

says a report published on Thursday.

It is reported that as a result of the maneuver undertaken by the American ship "went on the route of the merchant ship."

The sharp turn was caused by "a number of erroneous actions of the crew of the destroyer" John McCain ", who probably lacked the necessary knowledge of the steering system due to a lack of training and familiarization," experts say.

As noted in the document, the merchant "ship noticed the destroyer’s turn, but suggested that the American ship could pass by."

Their (crew of the merchant ship) actions were insufficient to avoid a collision,

stated the authors of the report.

According to experts, "the collision occurred three minutes after the destroyer turned around."

Recall, the destroyer "John McCain" collided with a merchant ship 21 August 2017, not far from Singapore. The result of the collision was the death of ten sailors. Five more people were injured.

For some reason, I recall the blessed memory of M. Zadornov

Actually recorded conversation between Spaniards and Americans on the frequency of "Extreme situations at sea" of the navigation channel 106 in the Strait of Finisterra (Galicia). 16 October 1997
Spaniards: (background noise) ... says A-853, please turn 15 degrees south to avoid a collision with us. You are moving directly at us, a distance of 25 nautical miles.
Americans: (background noise) ... we advise you to turn 15 degrees 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 south by 15 degrees so as not to crash into us.
Americans (in elevated tones): CAPTAIN RICHARD JAMES HOWARD SPEAKS TO YOU, COMMANDER OF THE USS LINCOLN AIRCRAFT, Navy OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SECOND LARGER OF THE Navy OF AMERICAN. 2 CRUISERS, 6 FIGHTERS, 4 SUBMARines AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT SHIPS ACCOMPANY US. I DO NOT “ADVISE” YOU, I “ORDER” TO CHANGE YOUR COURSE IN 15 DEGREES IN 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. Us 2 person. We are accompanied by our dog, dinner, 2 bottles of beer and the canary, which is now sleeping. We are supported by the Cadena Dial de La Coruna radio station and the 106 Extreme Sea Sites channel. We are not going to turn anywhere, given that we are on land and are the lighthouse of the A-853 of the Finisterra Strait of the Galician coast of Spain. We have no idea what place we have in size among the Spanish lighthouses. You can take all ..... measures that you consider necessary and do whatever you want to ensure the safety of your ..... ship, which will crash into cliffs. Therefore, we again strongly recommend that you do the most meaningful thing: change your course to 15 degrees south to avoid a collision.
Americans: Ok, accepted, thanks.

I do not know how real the situation is - I personally was not at that lighthouse. But the characteristics of the main defendants are impeccable.

Well I said - I’m not sure of the reality of this case. And in an English textbook (though not 90s, but GORAAZDO before) I read not such "noodles", but O'Henry, Dickens and Dreiser.
But the situation, agree, given the American mentality, the real to the limit.

Have you met at sea with NATO and / or US ships?
The expression of M. Zadornov "... Well, stupid ..." is more suitable for the highest political establishment of the USA (Congress and Senate) in the matter of understanding American hegemony and the infallibility of the American nation today. But it’s impossible to call stupid US senators and congressmen - their system filters work better than we do on our way to Parliament.

I met with the American Marine Corps - more than once and in more than one country in the world. So the process of knocking the American heel with the left heel on his own chest and blowing his cheeks from awareness of his own importance to the size of two globes is quite clear and not according to the 90's English textbook .... I do not think that the US Marine Corps on land is very different from their own Navy at sea ...
If you saw a peasant cart on a narrow clearing in the jungle and a couple of Bradley coming towards them, you would believe me that the above "noodles" are not as incredible as they might seem. The peasants were saved only by the fact that their "Bradley" went into the jungle only within the limits of visibility of open space.

I also met! I declare - answering for my words, their Marines are a cheap fake for Us! Just a question, you try to compare quantity, not Quality! And who do you think is in plus, by these two criteria?

I always focused on quality. And the boys taught this. First of all, because ours are fighting for their homeland, and the Americans are fighting for green cards, training grants and other nishtyaks.
Now consider the issue of motivation. I will not be - Motherland will remain. Do you need an American corpse of Colombian origin in a green box plastic box? The American marine of them, the American military charter teaches that resistance must be exerted as long as it makes sense - that is, as long as it does not threaten life (in order to avoid "meaningless losses"). Vasily Filippych used to chatter on us that the first was the fulfillment of a combat mission. And the second thing is that your corpse of the enemy will not destroy. And compare what kind of relations our boys had with the locals in Afghanistan and how Americans are now afraid of their shadow ...
Here comes the difference in quantity and quality ....

I made this comment on August 25th. The Strait of Singapore passed on the 22nd, search and rescue operations were still going on there.

Quote: Seaman77

Not far from the accident site, at McCain's course, there is an anchorage. IMHO, the situation developed like this: McCain lane on the side of the road until he ran into the parking lot and decided to take it sharply to the left and slip under the nose of KAMAZ. It didn’t work out.
Talking about turning off the RPS signal is not worth a damn. As good maritime practice requires, in areas of coastal navigation, vessel positioning is carried out visually and using radar. ZhPS for the ocean. This is an axiom for the skipper. We do not even have Filipino helpers doing such things. And if the American navigator when navigating in the narrowness is determined by the ZhPS, this only confirms their low qualification. There are at least two good reference points in the clash area — the Horsburgh Lighthouse and another lighthouse with the unpronounceable Malay name.
Below in the photo is a diving boat at the scene of the accident. Behind him, ships anchored from which McCain turned away are visible.

[Seaman77]

Talking that the tanker had as much as 3 minutes before the collision is complete nonsense. Three minutes is not always enough, even if you first calculate, and then see the maneuver of the ship. It was necessary to clearly make sure that McCain decided to cut and not just "wag", then calculate the situation considering ALL the ships around and make a decision. Give a command to the helmsman, and even after that the ship will not immediately turn away, because the tanker "weighed" about 30-35 thousand tons. THOSE. so that in 3 minutes to prevent this collision, you had to think for yourself and for that “guy”. And considering that there were probably Filipinos on the tanker's bridge, with all due respect to them, they had no chance to turn them off, because in an emergency they fall into a stupor. Such is their national trait.

[stalkerwalker]

The 35-thousandth tanker in 3 minutes can only begin a maneuver. The level of training of the Filipinos is low, I agree. But this does not prevent foreign shipowners from hiring them in their crews.
And there is a saying among civilian sailors, "Fear the fisherman and the fool warrior in the sea."

[Seaman77]

Quote: stalkerwalker

The level of training of the Filipinos is low,

The training they have, as they say, is satisfactory. Here the point is different. They are "robots." Non-standard solutions are difficult. Say him "Fall," he will fall. And if you say "Fall, but beautiful," for about 5 minutes there will be a "penguin turn on."
In a situation of 3 minutes, to turn away from McCain, I would take to the right, under his stern. Judging by the nature of the hole, the tanker turned to the left. If at all turned away .... what I really doubt. But the conversation is not about that. If two months before this, during the Figerald accident, I doubted who was to blame, then in this case McCain’s “bridge” bears unconditional blame for all 10 victims.

Yes, even if these John Sidney McCaines were saints, their namesake survivor all the good for world history associated with their names, poher. In Russia, the name McCain will always be associated with irreconcilable Russophobia and fierce anger towards our country.

not thought out by the Americans. This pretzel at one time almost killed the aircraft carrier, and then the destroyer ...

Generally, look, here misunderstanding comes in the sense of the name

The destroyer John McCain is named after John S. McCain the Younger and John S. McCain the Elder, two United States Navy Admirals. John S. McCain the Younger commanded the Gunnel and Dentuda submarines. Subsequently, he held many posts, up to the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet of the United States. John McCain Sr. commanded the aircraft carrier Ranger and until 1944, was the commander of the aircraft carrier group. These admirals are respectively the father and grandfather of John S. McCain III, a former naval pilot, an American senator from Arizona and a presidential candidate from the Republican Party of the United States in the 2008 election of the year.

... They can, but "auto-registrars" will not allow ... But in fact: "exclusively" maneuverable "... McCain" in 5 thousand tons, from the right, the tanker cut 50 thousand tons ... "Alnic ..." did not calculate (hoping for "Arly Burke") and drove him to the port side ... Common business in places with heavy traffic (especially in the Strait of Malacca off the coast of Singapore ):

According to experts, "the collision occurred three minutes after the turn of the destroyer"

... more precisely, the "turnaround", and even the move diminished (apparently).

Unlike the usual narrow and thin hull, which all destroyers had, including American, destroyers such as "Arly Burke" have a wide "pot-bellied" hull . What caused some doubts in their mannered data.
This video clearly demonstrates that the “arly burke” can turn around no less abruptly than the destroyer of the Second World War:
