@MickolaustheWonder

1y↑93

I was a US Navy Boatswains mate and part of our job is to be helmsman. Passing on the right is a guideline, mostly. Many things are to be considered. For example, it is possible one of the ships was having issues with the steering system and that why they didn't turn off in the first place. If you don't wait and calculate the best I do at the time one ship could have followed the rule and turned directly into the path where the other ship could not have avoided contact due to the steering issue. But they have radio coms and radar and men on watch so they shoukd definitely not have gotten this close.

@mattterry30

1y↑12

As a Vet USCG BM Coxswain whatever the cause of the near miss, it should have been communicated way farther in advance than this and should never have gotten to this point.

@juniorbricuyet528

It’s clear it would have taken a longer travel radius to turn to the right in this case cause the ships were to the right of each other, making it safer to go left. steering to the right would have meant both ships would be steering towards each other for some time before clearing or possibly hitting each other. It’s clear from the video what more investigating is needed the pilot made a good call. and the second captain begun maneuvering right but quickly corrected that quick reaction also saved the day.

This applies at a further distance but not on close call. The maritime rules should be modified for close distance Bow to Bow maneuvering, the rule might be "Where the bow and the longitudinal axis of the ship is dominantly situated, it should turn on that direction away from the incoming ship to avoid collision. But for close Bow to Body maneuvering at any subtended angle, the transversal heading ship should slow down, apply reverse thrust and stop until the route heading is clear.

@@2023crosshair-wa6MnYou’re not meant to approach vessels to that sort of distance, because it leads to collisions. Enshrining exactly how to manoeuvre in a situation in law is ludicrous and would be detrimental to safety on the high seas and waters connected therewith navigable by seagoing vessels.

The military does so but it is heavily Co-ordinated and there are specific NATO rules that are intended as an addendum to Rules of the Road that delineate who gives way to who for ships conducting these sorts of manoeuvres.

There is a lot of context missing. The bigger boat turned too early, the smaller boat could not maneuver because it was taking on a pilot. However, the bigger boat (Harpers Ferry) is on the wrong side of the channel. the pilot on Momsen (smaller ship) realizes it and orders hard to port. Harpers Ferry does the same thing.

That’s the first time I’ve ever seen evasive maneuvering by military boats. I’ve always wondered in the movies when they scream turn 4 x 7 blah blah blah and they say Aye captain and start spinning the wheel. Those boats move fast. Too bad someone’s a$$ is on the line for this

Those are NOT Boats, Nautical Term for a Boat is any vessel under 150ft in length. Any Vessel over 150ft is a SHiP.

Steering at the last minute creates a water barrier pushing ships away. Passing too late pulls the ships close together and the aft may slam into the other ship.

I heard in tight channels that the ships prefer to keep the maneuver close because the interactions help re-center.

@REALfish1552

You also know you can communicate with other people in your same job, so these captains already being in communication with each other and already being left of each others centerline makes turning left more practical. You don't have that luxury on your Bayliner.

They wait until the last second due to displacement of water by the hulls. If they turn early they can flood nearby shores and docks with the water they displace.

You always turn at the last moment when in close proximity to another large vessel . Fluid dynamics will teach your that both boats create a water wall between them as they do this to keep them apart . Turn to soon and the water has time to settle and sucks the boats back together .

Also depends on draft of each vessel where the Frigate had to avoid going to starboard. Rarely you have to take a departure from The Collision Regulations necessary to avoid impending collision and one vessel may have been Not Under Command or Restricted In Its Ability To Manoeuvre.

@jessicam5712

A similar situation led to the sinking of the Coastguard vessel Blackthorn, the other ship, the Capricorn did the two whistles to pass starboard-to-starboard but the guy behind the wheel of the Blackthorn was confused as to what that meant and for some reason the crew of the Blackthorn hadnt been responding to attempts to contact their bridge via radio. The worst part was the anchor from the other ship got embdedded in the Blackthorns hull and as the Capricorn was much larger she pulled the Blackthorn under and 23 people died.
