Coast Guard Finds Cuyahoga Captain Primarily at Fault
The Coast Guard board of investigation concludes Cutter Cuyahoga captain Donald K Robinson was mainly to blame for the fatal collision with the Argentine freighter Santa Cruz II off Chesapeake Bay on Oct 20. The report cites Robinson's course change, misreading radar, and failure to interpret navigation lights as core errors. The Santa Cruz II pilot and Coast Guard were also faulted for delayed danger signaling and not using bridge radio timely. The findings precede ongoing court martial proceedings for Robinson on manslaughter charges.
