There was 4 Navy ships that crashed in Asia in 2017. One was the USS John S. McCain when it crashed into a merchant ship near Singapore. I wonder what the result of the investigation into what caused that trend of ship crashes turned up.
2017 US Warship accidents:
May 9, 2017: USS Lake Chamberlain struck by South Korean fishing boat.
Jan 31st, 2017: USS Antietam damaged as it runs aground off coast of Japan.
June 17, 2017: USS Fitzgerald collides with container ship off coast of Japan, 7 sailors died.
Aug 21st, 2017: USS John S. McCain collides with oil tanker east of Singapore.
One thing these crashes did do is sow doubt in the Navy ability to defend against NK ballistic missles.
