At the collision distance, you can see it with the naked eye, not to mention the high-precision radar of various bands on the warship. Radar can't miss such a big cargo ship. The only explanation is man-made reasons. For example, the radar is not turned on at all, but even if it is not turned on, it should not be within the visual range.

Before completing this so-called "routine patrol" task, on June 5438+09, the Facebook account of the official social network "McCain" uploaded a number of photos of officers and men fishing, playing poker and playing games on the deck. The officers and men who completed the task showed relaxed expressions on their faces, leaned against the fence and fished comfortably. Some even showed the big fish they caught to the camera. Other officers and men are also mixed together, playing poker with smiles and enjoying their leisure time, as if unaware of the upcoming accident.
According to Reuters's earlier quotation from an anonymous American official, the US Navy destroyer "McCain" conducted a "free navigation operation" in the South China Sea on August 10, and entered the mischief reef 12 nautical mile to "challenge China's territorial claims". According to the report, this is the third "free navigation action" of the US Navy in the South China Sea after the Trump administration took office.
Geng Shuang, spokesman of China's Foreign Ministry, said that China's army sent warships to verify and identify American ships according to law and warned them to drive away. China has indisputable sovereignty over Nansha Islands and its adjacent waters. The relevant actions of the US ship violated China's laws and international laws, seriously damaged China's sovereignty and security, and seriously endangered the lives of frontline personnel on both sides. China is strongly dissatisfied with this and will make solemn representations to the US.
Why did the US military have a series of plane collision accidents? Expert: lack of military discipline
Following the collision of USS Fitzgerald with a Philippine cargo ship in Japanese waters in June this year, which killed seven American officers and men, USS McCain, another destroyer of the US Navy, collided with a merchant ship in the eastern waters of Singapore, resulting in 10 missing. The whole world is asking: What happened to the "powerful" American warship? Why do low-level navigation accidents such as "warships and merchant ships" occur frequently? According to the latest news from the US Navy, Admiral Richardson, the US Naval Operations Secretary, has announced that in view of the recent frequent collisions between US Navy warships and other ships, the US Navy will suspend its maritime operations on a global scale until the root causes of the above accidents are investigated.
The US Seventh Fleet, which has frequent accidents, also said that it will conduct a comprehensive review of the fleet operation, including the rhythm of maritime operations, crew, equipment maintenance, training and preparation, so as to completely put an end to such "tragic events". American military experts said that the US Navy has always prided itself on being the best in equipment and quality in the world, but the recent "collision with ships" can not be summarized as "bad luck". Is the training situation of the US Navy a big problem? If this is the case, the top of the US Navy will definitely "earthquake". It is not excluded that the commander of the 15 destroyer squadron and even the 7 th Fleet, where the accident warship is located, resigned for investigation.
US Admiral Richardson pointed out that the US Navy must take correct actions to avoid the recurrence of similar problems and must ensure the safety and efficiency of maritime operations. However, military experts said that from the perspective of the intensity of the US Navy's maritime navigation, 20 17 was not the most frequent year for the US Navy's activities, but there were many accidents this year, including two embarrassing collision accidents. Because the sailing intensity has not changed significantly, American military experts tend to relax the training posture of the US Navy.
China military experts also said that as the most powerful and modern maritime force in the world, the US Navy's ships are equipped with top navigation equipment and navigation AIDS. From a technical point of view, in addition, the U.S. Navy also has rich and detailed nautical hydrological and meteorological data. If the training is in place, these navigation devices can completely avoid the above accidents. Therefore, experts believe that there is indeed a lack of military discipline in the US Navy, otherwise it will not be enough to explain the successive incidents of top combat ships in just two months.

CCTV commented on the obvious mistakes in the collision between Chinese and American ships and cargo ships in the night flight. Avoid improper operation. The rules of sailing at sea are "small and broad" and "small and broad", but American warships are not allowed.
