I have wondered the same thing. In both incident reports there was a Chinese ship closely following the merchant ship involved in the collisions. This never comes up. I find it interesting that both Navy ships were conducted a FONOP past South China Sea land. Now China is very vocal about being aggressive with our Navy ships. Isn't it possible china targeted the weakest links. Im not sticking up for big navy but there is also fault on the merchant ships for not acting when both had a clear view and knew they were going to hit a US Naval ship.
