The container ship was buried in containers from stem to stern. Heck when the container ship first passed the boat taking pictures I could not find the bridge at first.

Wonder if the two captains had previously had words or just both very stuck on themselves, looked like they were racing to start with! I remember the day Iraq invaded Kuwait being Anchored in Bahrain (Task Force 118) and almost getting run over by a BP supertanker, empty, running very high in the water and barely, I mean barely, getting it turned before taking out the Frigate we were on out.

Our ship, can't recall the name, was refueling the USS Monticello which was accompanying is. Calm seas, with the whole Pacific ocean to maneuver in, and we collided. Knocked a big hole above waterline in our ship. Took out a couple 50 cal mounts on the Monticello. Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place

Seems like the container ship screwed up by trying to pass the other ship in restricted waters. If the captain had just followed the other ship this accident wouldn't have happened.
