USS John S. McCain


It is quite curious to hear yet another US warship has managed to crash into a civilian merchant ship, somewhere near Singapore.

It makes one wonder how in the hell a billion dollar, satellite abled, sophisticated warship with state of art radar system and all the bells and whistles manages to find a merchant ship to crash into in an open seas! 
It seems the US Navy is suffering from the same mishaps as US Army and US Air Force which keeps bombing Syrian Army and civilians mistaking it for ISIS forces 

All I know is the last time another Navy ship the USS Vincennes mistook the lumbering Iranian Airbus A300 civilian airliner for a much smaller and faster F-14 fighter & shot it out of sky killing all 290 passengers and crew members on board by MISTAKE, its Admiral, Will C. Rogers III was awarded Legion of Merit for his "mistake" 

Incidentally the US Navy guided-missile destroyer is called USS John S. McCain, and like its name sake it is misguided, dysfunctional and waste of space.
