Look at the rout of the container ship in this NY times article. The obvious question is purposely not asked. Why did the cargo ship turn around 180 from its course accelerate towards the Fitzgerald, ram it and then turn back towards its normal route?

When the GPS tracking shows this is what happened, why is this not talked about? Why did this cargo ship go out of its way to ram a US Navy ship in the open ocean? More importantly why is the media not asking this question?
