Aw Jason, you left out the juiciest quotes! The only people on the bridge during the missed turn and up to the collision were the 4/0 and a lady QM1. Section 1.15:
“the 4/O and QM1 had a recurrent relationship that was brought to an end two weeks before the accident”
and
“This was their first shift alone on watch together since the end of the relationship”
After the lawyers get through with this you could sell it to Hollywood for a soap opera. How about “As The Binnacle Turns”?

Yes, hopefully not, Mike. It could take years, before it is all sorted out in the courts.

So I did, Bill. Yep, you could sell it to Hollywood to be turned into a movie. That's a perfect title!

And perhaps something else was turning, but I refuse to go there!

Just look at the fun with the Exxon Valdez fiasco. 20+ years later and it's still going on.
