#3 I expect an 'accidental collision' soon. The Chinese can afford the loss.

#5 I don’t think our ship would have sunk in that situation. The US ship was likely at GQ with material condition set. All the watertight fittings were likely in good shape. I have no idea what kind of shipyard the Chinese ship came out of, how well watertight integrity was set and whether the crew could respond to flooding. Sooner or later we will find out.

#7 #4 - expect a removal of all DOD staff and POTUS replacement if that happens. It's not like we didn't know ahead of time.
