I see in the news that the Commanding Officer of the USS Porter was relieved of his Command today. I guess that was inevitable. But I really want to know how this collision happened. How does a state of the art AEGIS warship hit a tanker as big as the peninsula of Florida?! They have more radars that was at any battle in WW II. The weather was not an issue, so how did this happen?
I have read and heard rumors addressing numerous theories. I won't repeat any of them here but I really would like to know the truth.

Ditto! I would like to know the story on this. No way should this ever happen unless they went DIW. I think we will find another commander who should never have been given command. Something is wrong in the chain of command when we have this many commanders being relived for cause. I also have to ask where was the OOD? Did no one listen to CIC? In this day and age of high technology this should never have happen! The computers would have saw this coming as well the CIC team. Anyway a failure of the computers, CIC, JOOD and OOD is still the responsibility of the commanding officer!
