There is a maritime component to all this (Cuba is an island) and
@DataRepublican is a friend.
There’s a lot more to this story than has emerged on X.
All I will say is Colonel John Boyd often wrote about the "fog of war" for a reason with a focus on human perception, time, and tempo.
After writing about ship collisions for twenty years I’ve found three universal truths:
1) Both ship captains always share some degree of fault
2) Neither would have collided if one ship remained in port
3) Ships were not built to remain in port
I can’t provide details, and I don’t know all the facts, but what I do know about this collision makes me respect
@DataRepublican even more.
