7. also in 1967, while steaming slow speed off the coast of vietnam on a moonless night in choppy seas after mid-night, a large vietnamese fishing boat collided with "annapolis". the impact was near the bow on the starboard side of the ship and the fishing boat then bounced and ricocheted along the entire length of the starboard side of the ship sounding like a bucket of large stones in a concrete mixer. in an effort to evade the oncoming boat, the officer of the deck gave the order to come "hard to port" when the turn should have been "hard to starboard" to allow the ship's stern to swing to port and away from the fishing boat. instead the stern swung to starboard further complicating the collision causing all the commotion and noise that was heard throughout the ship. the fishing boat had been underway without navigational lights and only showed up on the ship's radar at the last moment. since it was in restricted waters near the dmz and acted suspiciously even after the collision, "annapolis" reported its position and continued on her patrol leaving the disabled suspicious fishing boat adrift.
