The U.S. Navy investigation into the near-miss of two US Navy ships — USS Momsen and USS Harpers Ferry — that came a little too close for comfort as they passed each other in San Diego Bay last year, has been completed, and published.
Lastly, while the preliminary investigation officer found that not all members of both USS Harper's Ferry or the USS Momsen's bridge were qualified to hold the positions they were operating at the time of the incident, they subsequently found that"this discrepancy did not contribute to the near miss," the report reads.
The only discipline included as part of the report was listed that VADM Roy Kitchener ordered CDR. Eric Winn, commanding officer of USS Harper’s Ferry and CDR. Eric Roberts, commanding officer of USS Momsen, as well as their respective executive officers to report to him no later than Feb. 10, 2023, to provide a self-assessment of the incident and to outline what actions will be taken with their crew to prevent a similar situation in the future.
, the U.S. Coast Guard advises that when vessels are headed toward each other, port-to-port passing, or passing on the right so that each vessel's port sides are closest, is advised. USS Harpers Ferry's crew begins to respond but stops, then USS Momsen advises,"We are coming to port to avoid you." Harpers Ferry quickly radios back to Momsen advising,"We are coming to port to avoid you as well."
Bahrami says he operates the series of webcams, based at different locations showing a variety of angles around San Diego Bay"to show off our beautiful city." A popular web cam overlooking the San Diego Bay suddenly has been switched off. NBC 7's Joe Little explains.
