[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1426919, member: 18945"] This is Arleigh Burke, lead ship of the same class Fitzgerald is. Fitzgerald is laid out the same way. [url=https://postimg.org/image/b5h4evh8t/][img]https://s22.postimg.org/b5h4evh8t/arlieh2.jpg[/img][/url] Picture of the ACX Crystal when it was riding higher in the water, showing it's lower bow. [url=https://postimg.org/image/fp1q01clz/][img]https://s15.postimg.org/fp1q01clz/high.jpg[/img][/url] After the collision: [url=https://postimg.org/image/ftl73qz19/][img]https://s22.postimg.org/ftl73qz19/crystal.jpg[/img][/url] Fitzgerald: There are very few places on a USN ship with a full length mirror. The captain's cabin would be one of them: [url=https://postimg.org/image/l3s45lxhj/][img]https://s23.postimg.org/l3s45lxhj/fitz5.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/6dkjjsmib/][img]https://s29.postimg.org/6dkjjsmib/Fitz.jpg[/img][/url] Actually, the berthing compartments would be just a little bit further forward than where I've indicated. I 'think' that ACX Crystal came in at an angle from astern, overtaking Fitzgerald, and if it was in the 22.5 degrees abaft Fitzgerald's beam, that makes Crystal the burdened vessel and Fitzgerald obligated to maintain heading and speed. The big bulb at the bottom of Crystal's bow is probably what ruptured the hull adjacent to the berthing spaces forward but below where the upper bow hit Fitzgerald. [/QUOTE]
