Incompetence is abundant in the armed forces methinks.
It doesn't take more money to keep a ship equipped with the best radars on earth away from other ships at sea. I can see how a guy on the bridge of a merchant ship can get distracted watching porn on his laptop, but a sailor on a navy ship cannot be distracted at any time. Merchant ships are LIT AT NIGHT. Give me a fkng break!
All this bullshit about cuts for the navy have caused these events is bullshit. If I were asking the questions and someone brought that up, he'd be gone before finishing the sentence.
