There is a possibility this is linked to the Awan brothers spy ring that is now being outed fully. Imran Awan is in custody and 20 democrats are not only compromised but are accused of actively participating in sending classified documents to a known spy ring (possibly being blackmailed) The Awan brothers are Pakistani ISI and are involved in shipping through Cargo Container ships. This is massive involving black weapons, Uranium, drugs, etc. through diplomatic loopholes. They also had stolen state secrets and sold them to foreign governments which included satellite technology. The ramming of our ships is obviously intentional and the missing sailors strange. No news coverage

Edit: Clarifying I was alluding to the fact the Awan case highlights the fact that Maritime Navigation systems maybe hacked as well as the ships functional capabilities leaving them a sitting duck. This is seemingly what occurred a few months ago when a container ship rammed a new war ship causing death and extensive damage and actually fleeing the scene with no call for help or mayday call for over an hour by the Navy.
