How could it happen?
I was standing QMOW watch on a 205' Coast Guard ship in the 70's.
Broad daylight, flat ocean . I had 2 lookouts on flying bridge. OD on the
bridge. My normal routine was scan with binocs, check radar, step in
chart room check position, rinse and repeat.
stepped out on bridgewing looked aft and less than 1/2 mile
behind us a ship was crossing our wake!!! Nobody saw it.
EVERYBODY missed it!! DO DO happens
