Ramsey Excused From Testimony In Evans Collision Inquiry
Subic Bay Philippines AP Lt jg Ronald Ramsey, Evans deck officer blamed in the Melbourne collision, was excused from testifying after his lawyers argued for rights to cross examine witnesses. The board may hear from him later if he changes his mind. Lt jg Roland Bowler testified Ramsey then took command during the critical maneuver that led to the collision early on June 3. Bowler revised his earlier base course assessment after a closed session, saying the base was 220 degrees rather than 185 degrees, a key factor in the incident. The hearing noted two task groups on the same radio net that night raising potential confusion.
