USS Fitzgerald Collision and Navy Equipment Malfunction
The collision between the USS Fitzgerald and the container ship ACX Crystal off the coast of Japan resulted in the deaths of seven sailors. Vice Admiral Joseph O'Coin and the hosts discuss how a sophisticated warship could be "T-boned" by a slower vessel. While human error is the official focus, the hosts cite reports from former Navy personnel suggesting a widespread equipment or radar malfunction that the military may be covering up.
