EVERY SAILOR who honestly cares about their safety at Sea these days should know. TOO MUCH DEPENDENCE ON ELECTRONICS VS WIDE AWAKE EYES ON THE BRIDGE means the difference between LIFE AND DEATH.
SOMEBODY HAS TO BURN FOR THEIR LACK OF CONTROL.
I actually don't get it, myself. As many watches as they have going at any given time, how can ALL miss a ship? Crap, you've got to be half-inventor to UA smoke and avoid them.
