Did the OOD see the ship and think he could cut in front of it because the U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are fast and can turn on a dime?
The above video shows the capabilities of the Arleigh Burke class destroyer. So how did the USS Fitzgerald not see a slow moving ship? Like I said, I'm dumbfounded.
God rest the souls of the sailors who lost their lives.

I'm Dumbfounded, How Did The USS Fitzgerald Manage To Get T-Boned By A Slower Moving Ship?
Why am I dumbfounded?
Bridge watch.
Yes, I know, it was at night and the dreaded midwatch.
The CIC.
Operators scanning for surface contacts (can you say ships?).
Starboard watch.
Aft watch.
