USNavy Report on Fitzgerald Collision.
The NavyTimes has gotten hold of the internal Navy Fort Report from 6weeks after the collision.

Here are 3 similar articles covering the report. Some info is only in one or the other article so I included all 3.

Apparently the merchant ship carried enough responsibility in the collision that the owners coughed up $26.7M to the USNavy but admitted no wrongdoing which is as expected.
