I am hearing that the destroyer was passing in front of the freighter.
The Fitz was the give way vessel and the freighter was the stand on
vessel. The ACX was supposed to maintain course and speed. The story
is it turned right full rudder, and that is what put them on a
collision course. They hit 10 minutes later. If the ACX maintains
course and speed, it passes astern of the destroyer.
ACX was trying to help but following the rules of the road is what
they were supposed to be doing
