US Navy destroyer collision

[Cormorant]

Just saw this article:

and some aerial footage of the damage to the destroyer here:
???????????????????? ?? ???? | NHK????

How the hell did this happen? With all the damage on the starboard beam of the destroyer, it looks like it failed to give way in a crossing situation. (!??) Obviously, much more info is needed.

But it just reinforces the notion for us cruisers that despite all today's navigational tech, there will be times when no one is looking out for you. . . .
