Wow. That's quite a sad picture. Those are my tax dollars there! Obviously, there was a problem with lookout regardless of what
charts they were using. Looks as if there would have been sound as well as the white from the break. The water looks like it's really moving. Even on a dark night, if someone was paying attention, should have been able to detect this.
Completely understandable if it was foggy and
charts were wrong. It looks like it gets shallow quickly so watching depth may not have helped much other than providing a second or so to say "AW S$^T" before the crunch. These ships must have forward scanning sonar? If so, then there's no excuse.
