All your comments understood and no real issue with them.
I will, however, wait to see an AIS track, or other evidence, that shows the “hard to starboard” action by Crystal prior to the collision, as stated by the Captain. The abrupt 90* starboard line on the AIS seems to be as a result of the collision, possibly with last second rudder applied, rather than the track of an in extremis vessel taking appropriate action.
Again, not defending Fitz. No way she should have allowed this to happen.
