The pic of the ACX shows some paint damage and bent rail, above waterline, at least.

How long does it take, both in time and distance, for a 732 foot long, 64 thousand ton ship to make a U-turn? Not like it's going to be unnoticed by any other ship that
is monitoring (or should be monitoring) it's movements. Fitzgerald's skipper is in deep ****.
