I have visited the bridge of cruise ships and have seen their radar systems. I would imagine that a Navy ship would have radar equipment at least equal to a cruise ship. The container ship also would have radar, I would imagine.
Are some court martials going to come of this or total loss of command for the skipper of the Navy ship?
