If this has not been brought up, I think it should have been.
Traveling at 6 kts means you are traveling at approx 600 + - feet / minute
Even IF you could "see" a shipping container ahead, and, your eyes,
of course are glued to the screen, you spotted it at the max advertised
range and you correctly identified it as a shipping container and not a bit
of bubble from a collapsing wave. Would you have time to avoid it?
