The August 2017 collision between the USS John S. McCain and an oil
tanker that killed 10 U.S. sailors was caused by a “sudden turn”
following a “series of missteps,” a Singapore government investigation
has found. “The collision between the USS John S. McCain (JSM) and
Alnic MC (AM) as they were transiting through the Singapore Strait
happened because of a sudden turn to Port by JSM, which caused it to
head into the path of AM,” according to the report cited by Reuters.
The series of missteps described by the report increased the rate of the
USS John McCain’s turn, which resulted in the crash.
