  1. There should be no rule on steering to avoid direct collisions. It depends on what the captain of both ships agreed upon! They were the ones in the brink of danger anyway!

  2. I'm bigger than you are situation

  3. They turned left so they would pass each other right side to right side as the video shows. Only the narration and author do not know left from right. Typical of NBC News, tell lies often enough and most people will believe the lie.

  4. Disgraceful it’s red to red

  5. 😂😂😂 those who is not a mariner would ask why. 😂😂 its the rules of the road at sea. the big ship already turning to his right. but the small ship not reacting. anyway this situation is an example of very poor seamanship😂😂. why wait for the last minute where you can act an early attemp. to see your action so that the other ship may see your intention.

  6. Who were the helmsmen? They know better. Some officers will hear about this big time.

  7. They did pass on the right. Both starboard sides faced each other. Starboard is the right side of the ship.
    If they're passing port side, which put the passing boats on each of their left sides.

  8. This video led to the ordered shutdown of this, the San Diego webcam. Too embarrassing for the Navy?!

  9. So used to aggression, US navy ships don’t know how to behave.

  10. Bro had the whole ocean💀💀

  11. why they wait at the last minute to avoid?

  12. This is only true if your head on. Ideally turn away from the opposing obstacle first.
    Same in UK aviation they have to down and bank right but not if the opposing plane is to the right. Centre and left only.

  13. How could they not see each other?

  14. And there whining about a Chinese ship giving them issues, I really don't know what to say ,we don't have this issue with are sub sailors ,not going to bag the sailors, going to bag the dumbasses doing the training of these young men.

  15. Looks like it was filmed underwater .

  16. they were playing chicken😂

  17. Both commands investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing

  18. They wait until the last second due to displacement of water by the hulls. If they turn early they can flood nearby shores and docks with the water they displace.

  19. Gotta love that the person filming this got in trouble

  20. Both Captains distracted on putting makeup for a drag show. Bidens Diversity Force.

  21. Passing on the right would be ignorant

  22. You sail with traffic on your port side. The side with the pretty red lite😂

  23. The big ship going to the right but the small ship going to the left turn. That's why to avoid the collision the big ship going to his left fast. You can see the direction of big ship because going to his right but change it quickly because he see the counterpart going to the same direction.

  24. Left of center, turn left

  25. Our WOKE Navy at its finest.

  26. Just to clarify, if this video is truthful and there is an investigation, the reason for the investigation is because the ships should never have come so close to colliding with each other. The U.S. Navy is severely adverse to sloppiness. Yes, passing in the right is the norm but the side they chose to pass is not the reason for the investigation. on has nothing It has nothing to do with which side They are investigating in order to evolve and never have such a thing happen again. The Navy learns from everything.

  27. So much water but they make a last moment move👍. Ship came out of nowhere, huh?

  28. That's gunna be a debrief lol

  29. Keep right in N. America in a channel that typically is maked…other areas of the world vary …read your charts first.

  30. When the navy decides to play chicken.

  31. Isn't each ship passing the other on its right?
