The partially-redacted Navy report attributes the mishap to confusion and poor communication on both ships, but does not call for disciplinary action.
The near-collision of two Navy warships in San Diego Bay in November was a preventable incident caused by numerous failures, including poor communication on and between the vessels, according to anThe partially-redacted report also says that evasive action taken by junior officers enabled the guided-missile destroyer Momsen and the dock landing ship Harpers Ferry to avoid crashing into one another in the narrowest part of the harbor.
The investigation was completed months ago. But it only became public last week when it was published by the U.S. Naval Institute, an independent interest group based in Annapolis, Md.The Momsen is a 510-foot Arleigh Burke-class destroyer that’s used to help protect aircraft carrier groups and is capable of launching long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles.
The ships were “projected to meet in the most dangerous portion of the San Diego harbor narrow channel, an area San Diego pilots call the Triangle, where pilots attempt to avoid meeting situations,” says the report, whose redactions make it impossible to know precisely what happened. A collision was avoided when both ships, at roughly the same time, took evasive action, making sharp turns. Both ships announced that they were turning to port to get around each other, according toJunior officers aboard Harpers Ferry played especially key roles in preventing an accident, the report says.
The video was taken by the company’s cameras on Cabrillo National Monument, which is part of the National Park Service.
