how, as a captain, do you see one enormous ship headed towards your own giant ship, and not make corrections so that you are as far away from each other as possible??

I think they were in a port. Ships that large respond INCREDIBLY slowly as well. :?

yeah, but its not like they can creep up on each other. They should have noticed they were headed toward each other a long time before they were actually close, leaving them plenty of time to change course and avoid the situation.

you're assuming they were sober. I wouldn't be if they made me drive the SS-shitbox carrier ship.
