this is a clear indication that the maru is engaged in a hard right turn

also again the water cannon (from maru video) you can see that the crew of the gil were afforded almost 0 visability, were on a straight course. and again

look at the angles from the maru vid.

at the biggening there was a 45 deg angle (the gil with no vis. and engines idle was thus not turning)

upon impact the angle is almost 90deg.

the only way this can happen is if one of the two boats is turning.

gil with no thrust - not turning,
maru proven to be turning, its pretty open and shut for me
You are clearly a more experienced seaman than me, so I have to succeed to some of the things you say.

However, in the video you talk about I don't see the Maru "bearing down" on the Gil. I see it moving in chopping waters and the Gil positioned in a pretty dangerous location. (It would be nice to have video 5 minutes before this short video).

I see the Gil with two motors going straight ahead into the path of the Maru. If I am wrong, give me the time signature where the Gil is trying to turn out of the way.

I can understand blaming the water hoses, but picture show the Gil with weapons of their own, though we don't see them using them in this video.
