OK, so this story is not the Cromarty Firth:

But this is an accident that not supposed to happen with modern GPS navigation systems. Especially when it involves a US warship and an oil tanker. It would appear that there was no major disaster –  but it could just as easily happen in the Moray Firth – think tankers and cruise ships for instance (or even aircraft carriers!). Would we get off so lightly.
