A US Navy Destroyer ran into a Japanese oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. What the hell? Didn't the Japanese see our turn signal?

Actually, I've seen Asleep at the Wheel twice now. I have Ray Benson's autograph along with the rest of the band. Terrific band. If that was the case, I'd understand.

These big ships practicably steer themselves on autopilot.

. . . How in the hell you could still get even a near collision with two such giants could only be because of a human fuck-up!

That is so messed up.
I like it when whaling boats get sunk. Fishing boats Are ok with me also.
Oil tankers kinda suck . Mostly because the spillage of petroleum
would kill innocent fish and stuff.
