Japan investigates delay in reporting U.S. Navy ship collision Raptors

0788396677

BY MARI YAMAGUCHI
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO Japans coast
guard is investigating why it took
nearly an hour for a deadly colli-
sion between a U.S. Navy destroy-
er and a container ship to be
reported.
A coast guard official said
Monday they are trying to find out
what the crew of the Philippine-
flagged ACX Crystal was doing
before reporting the collision off
Japans coast to authorities 50
minutes later.
The ACX Crystal collided with
the USS Fitzgerald off Japans
coast, killing seven of the destroy-
ers crew of nearly 300. The ships
collided early Saturday morning,
when the Navy said most of the
300 sailors on board would have
been sleeping. Authorities have
declined to speculate on a cause
while the crash remains under
investigation.
A track of the much-larger con-
tainer ships route by
MarineTraffic, a vessel-tracking
service, shows it made a sudden
turn as if trying to avoid something
at about 1:30 a.m., before continu-
ing eastward. It then made a U-
turn and returned around 2:30 a.m.
