That's useful. Clearly the destroyer didn't detect the container ship before the collision; there was no collision alarm and no maneuvering to avoid the collision. But why? That hasn't been reported publicly yet. The U.S. Navy probably knows in general terms; the bridge and CIC crew members will have been interrogated by now.
No real point in speculating in advance of evidence.
