Amazing, now reporting 10 crew members missing. With the sophisticated navigational equipment all ships have, this shouldn't be happening.
 
the 10 missing sailors are dead inside the ship...

just like last month...

hatches closed to prevent sinking...
 
that's a big hole...

Go back and look what I said previously at the last one. Absolutely, something is up.
Seems pretty obvious that this class of destroyers navigation system has been hacked. The" rumor " of the previous "accident "was that the merchant ships system was on auto pilot,AND REVERSED COURSE TO RAM OUR SHIP!!
