Let's See How They're Going to Maneuver Out of This One

HIGH-SPEED HAIR-PIN TURN! U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyer's AMAZING MANEUVER! [Watch]
WarOnGuns Correspondent Florida Guy notes:
The official U.S.S. Fitzgerald / ACX Crystal inquest will NOT be a cheerful place. 
Especially considering how an incident in much more "excusable" conditions was handled. (Incidentally, this was not a bad movie, despite "Sharknado"-level CGI. And guess whose uncle was in charge of security at Capt. McVay's court-martial...?)

WOW!! I didn't know a destroyer could do a high speed drift. That was impressive!

I thought it was a Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. Thanks for confirming that, David.

Incidentally, The Last Ship returns to TNT in August with new episodes, featuring the Nathan James:
