Actually the US military has never been really challenged since the Vietnam war, when it lost. Since then it has been fighting unfair fights against weak / corrupt opponents. Alone, it seldom pick a fight. It is always with canuk countries or with EU members against single opponents.

One on one, the US will always avoid.

U.S. warship collision exposes Singapore-Malaysia sea territorial dispute

2017-08-21T111154Z_1_LYNXNPED7K0W4_RTROPTP_2_USA-NAVY-CRASH.JPG.cf.jpg

A collision between a U.S. warship and an oil tanker near the Straits of Malacca on Monday has shone a light on a territorial dispute that has simmered between neighbours Singapore and Malaysia for nearly 40 years. The guided-missile destroyer USS John S. McCain collided with merchant vessel Alnic MC to the east of Singapore, while heading to the city-state for a routine port call. Ten U.S. sailors are missing and five were injured in the collision, which resulted in significant damage to the hull of the U.S. vessel and the flooding of some of its compartments. Singapore and Malaysia both insisted the incident took place in their territorial waters, as the warship and oil tanker collided near the rocky outcrop of Pedra Branca, an area that has long been contested by both countries.

美军舰时隔2个月又撞了 1年4次撞船重返亚太受天谴

  据美国太平洋舰队网站8月21日报道,美海军第七舰队的“约翰·S·麦凯恩”号驱逐舰(DDG-56)当日在通过新加坡以东马六甲海峡的时候,与一艘名为“AlnicMC”的货船相撞。美军称该舰的左舷后侧受损,但具体的伤亡情况尚未公布。

  “约翰·S·麦凯恩”号驱逐舰

  “约翰·S·麦凯恩”号驱逐舰是美国海军阿利·伯克级驱逐舰的第五艘,属于比较老的FlightI型,满载排水量9000吨,1994年服役,距今已经有23年的服役历史,舰上官兵大约有280人左右。舰长为AlfredoJ.Sanchez海军上校。

  而网络上查到“AlnicMC”是一艘排水量30000吨的石油/化学品运输船,悬挂利比里亚国旗,在2008年建造。

  美军称碰撞的时间是日本东京时间8月21日早晨6:24分,当时“约翰·S·麦凯恩”号驱逐舰正准备按照计划靠港访问新加坡。在碰撞发生后,美军已经向当地国家联系搜救事宜。

  网络上查到“AlnicMC”货船照片

  这次碰撞,距离美军今年6月17日凌晨“菲茨杰拉德”号驱逐舰与一艘菲律宾籍货船在日本横须贺港西南方向100公里处水域相撞,刚刚过去2个月的时间。而且“约翰·S·麦凯恩”号和“菲茨杰拉德”号驱逐舰同属于美军第七舰队下属的第15驱逐舰中队。而美国国防部刚在8月17日,处分了“菲茨杰拉德”号部分舰上官兵,包括撤销舰长和舰上另外两名高级指挥官职务。而仅仅过了4天,美军舰艇就再次发生碰撞事故。

  “菲茨杰拉德”号驱逐舰相撞后的惨状

  这只能说明两种可能:一种是部分美军指挥官玩忽职守、不重视安全已经到了极为严重的程度。但从美军的职业化和专业化程度看,这不大可能发生。另外一种可能,就是长期的亚太巡航压力,已经对舰上官兵构成了极大的生理和心理负担。不是人家不专业,但是高负荷任务派遣,早晚得出问题。

  在7月底,“约翰·S·麦凯恩”号驱逐舰还在中国黄海附近海域活动。8月10日该舰还在南海进行“自由航行行动”,进入美济礁12海里,“以挑战中国对此的领土声索”。这是特朗普政府上台后美国海军在南海的第三次“自由航行行动”。

  2017年1月“约翰·S·麦凯恩”号驱逐舰在南海巡航照片

  从2016年8月19日到现在整一年时间中,据初步统计美军已经发生4次舰艇碰撞事故:2016年8月19日美军1艘弹道导弹核潜艇“路易斯安娜”号和一艘美军支援舰艇,在美国西海岸华盛顿州外海相撞。2017年5月9日,美军张伯伦湖号提康德罗加级巡洋舰在国际水域与一艘韩国渔船相撞。2017年6月17日凌晨“菲茨杰拉德”号驱逐舰与一艘菲律宾籍货船在日本横须贺港西南方向100公里处水域相撞。2017年8月21日“约翰·S·麦凯恩”号驱逐舰在马六甲海峡与一艘货船相撞。

  另外近期美国海军在亚太海域也接连发生人员失踪落水事故。2017年6月,美军“希洛”号导弹巡洋舰的一名士兵在冲绳附近海域被报告失踪,美军随后对其进行了为期近一周的搜寻工作。几天后,这名被曝失踪的水兵一直躲在军舰上。8月1日,美军“斯特西姆”号驱逐舰在南海巡航期间,一名船员失踪,美国、中国及日本出动多艘船只及多架飞机协助搜索,最终没有找到。这一系列的舰艇相撞和人员失踪事故,难道说美军重返亚太和南海巡航行动已经受到天谴?看来美军得找大师看看了。(作者署名:诤闻军事)
