did you guy read? it wasn't the warships fault, it was the tug boat. Read the damn thing
As someone who's spent over 2/3rds of this year on a ships I can tell you they aren't the most maneuverable machines. When in a crowded port it's almost anything goes as far as who has the right of way, etc. There are "rules of the road" as its called as to who passes who on which side and who crosses who's path when but it's basically chaos when you have vessels as large as 1k + feet down to small fishing boats.
The requirements to qualify as a Tug captain as far less then required for a larger vessel, plus it states the tug lost power... ships "colliding" isn't all that uncommon. Tugs are extremely capable when they have power and because of that they tend to operate closer to other ships. We have a few car tires tied to ropes to hold over the side if we happen to end up in a possible collision situation. This is a non news story...
Glad to hear no one was hurt.

The article says that the tugboat lost power and steered into the path of the destroyer. I'm not a sailing wiz, but aren't ships of that size rather difficult to timely steer away from such? Isn't this the tug's fault?
