The cargo ship made a significant course change a few miles before the collision, which meant if the destroyer crew had plotted its course prior that change, they might have not realized they were suddenly on a collision course.
This "change" would have been in keeping with the local TSS [0]. It's like when you're driving and there is a bend in the road, you steer so as to keep the car in its proper lane.
