Refueling
We don't refuel from bulk carriers, purpose built military ships. My old ship did once take on fuel from a Japanese tender once though.
Better pic, from the damage on the starboard fwd quarter it certainly doesn't seem like much maneuver was made to avoid, presumably would have been turning to starboard in most situations.
As for fancy radars, life at night in such areas is often excitingly enough done under EMCON or emissions control conditions meaning no radar to tell the world where we are. Sometimes no lights either. Then you rely on a junior guy mad at the world in general, Navy in particular to tell you that one part of the sky is a bit blacker than others.
I was on a ship in a collision. First go to EMCON. Then secure aft lookouts due to jet engine test ops on the fantail. Secure from flight ops. Start doing reactor drills to include crash stops. P.S. Forget to tell cruiser trailing you that flight ops is done, they can stop trailing you as plane guard. Anyway, there is now a CVN-71 class out there, it's about 8 ft shorter and sports one less CIWS mount than a Nimitz class.
The cruiser was worse for the wear, new bow for it.
