USS John S. McCain collides with merchant ship near Strait of Malacca. Come on, how hard is it to keep from running into another ship, even in a crowed sea lane, where one would think you'd be hyper vigilant?
Beautiful boat.
The collision was reported at 6:24 a.m. Japan Standard Time, while the ship was transiting to a routine port visit in Singapore.
Ten US sailors were missing after a US destroyer collided with a merchant vessel in southeast Asia, the second serious accident involving American Navy ships in the region in little more than two months.
Search and rescue efforts were launched after the USS John S McCain was involved in a collision with the Alnic MC east of Singapore and the Strait of Malacca, the US 7th Fleet said in a statement.
The destroyer was currently sailing under its own power and heading to port.

Riverrider is right: GPS spoofing. This is the 4th major incident in 2017. US Navy collisions stoke cyber threat concerns
