Yes, it does. From what I have read, the sonar reading was over an hour (71 minutes?) before the collision, and the sonar operator stopped doing his job about 50 mins. before the collison.......apparently there was also not the approved ratio of supervisors to trained operators on board the boat......there was 1 operator and 2 trainees, or something......

God Bless America, and her Armed Forces.........it's just a total fiasco, and I am crying for the families involved......Friendly Fire, indeed.
