A U.S. guided missile destroyer, worth exactly about $1.5 billion dollars as well as equipped amongst every shape of navigational as well as detection device possible, silent managed to collide amongst a massive container ship inward the Pacific Ocean to the South of Japan.
The extremely high improbability of such an occurrence has everyone scratching their heads, trying to cry upwardly of a vaguely plausible explanation for the accident, which around sunk the ship, the USS Fitzgerald, as well as terms the lives of 7 of its crew. The Fitzgerald, a 8,315-tonne ship amongst a crew of 300, was hitting past times the 29,060-ton CX Crystal, manned past times twenty Filipinos.
There are a discover of speculative possibilities. It could last that the captain was exactly a consummate moron (unlikely) or a druggie (slightly less unlikely), or that at that spot was some weird anomaly inward the expanse of the collision, either physical or electromagnetic that interfered amongst the ship's navigational equipment inward some way. Perhaps it was some form of "waterspout" -- a mysterious rotating column of H2O as well as spray typically formed past times a whirlwind occurring over H2O -- or perhaps the Fitzgerald's guidance systems were hacked past times "evil Russians" or near downwardly past times alien interference from the planet Zog, etc., etc.
OK, this is exactly getting silly...
Let's halt beating around the bush as well as instead focus on the most probable movement of maritime mayhem inward the modern U.S. navy, namely the quondam bugbear of "diversity" as well as the organisation's well-known policies of fast-tracking women as well as minorities.
Remember, the state of war machine services inward the U.S. don't simply be to defend the solid seat down against its enemies as well as send out globalist wars/ They are also a handy tool to remind the real divided U.S.A. of America how "united" they are -- or should be.

Accordingly, a search for crew shots of the USS Fitzgerald, suggests that the ship was inward fact beingness used equally something of an "affirmative action" guinea squealer as well as showboat.

| Hillary on the Fitzgerald: If Republic of Zimbabwe had a navy it would hold back similar this. |
This motion-picture exhibit from 2011, shows as well as thence Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on board the Fitzgerald amongst what looks similar a "more various than normal" crew -- as well as enjoying every infinitesimal of it, naturally.
Of the 17 naval personnel inward the photograph only 6 tin last said to last White males, amongst the residue beingness mainly Blacks, as well as at to the lowest degree ii women. The presumption of course of didactics is that these "diverse" elements were at that spot non solely on merit but instead to acquaint the desired "optics."
Of course, this photograph was taken half dozen years agone as well as a lot may guide keep changed inward that time, but commonly when it comes to "diversity" things tend to displace inward only 1 direction.
The U.S. navy today is similar a shot around 15% woman someone as well as 34% non-White. Contrast this amongst its primary contender navies -- the Russian as well as Chinese navies, which are overwhelmingly virile someone as well as amount ethnicity.

But fifty-fifty if the Fitzgerald's crew was less various than this motion-picture exhibit suggests as well as to a greater extent than inward work amongst the full general demographics of the navy -- which is silent the to the lowest degree White as well as bit to the lowest degree virile someone of all the services -- it only requires a few unsound individuals to movement disasters. "Affirmative action" provides the way past times which such individuals tin last placed inward positions of dandy responsibleness as well as danger. We guide keep to similar a shot encounter if that was the illustration amongst the USS Fitzgerald.
