USS Fitzgerald reportedly ignored cargo ships warnings before deadly impact

13. I saw a merchant mariner post somewhere else

That they have cut crews and automated so much on ships now that most likely all the engineering staff in the Crystal were asleep and in order to even stop the ship they would have to awaken them and get them to the engine room to start procideures for slowing or stopping the engines.

No clue how accurate that is, but I found it interesting.
