Well, for once I’d have to say that bland “thoughts and prayers ” generalities are pretty much all that one can really offer at this point: hopefully the casualty list won’t be too extensive - though, unfortunately, it looks like another Fitzgerald scenario in the making.
And speaking of which, WTF is going on with these destroyers? Metric megatons of money spent equipping these top-of-the-line warships with state-of-the-art electronics,, and they still get into collisions with slowpoke tankers and the like? Maybe understandable when naval vessels only had flags to communicate with, but less so in 2017.
