Why game out a scenario that never occurred? If there was something that they might have wanted to defend against is that the ship broke in half. I can’t recall any other questions about a head on collision but for some reason there were more questions about a break-up. Personally I don’t see why there would be much interest in doing calculations for a head-on collision unless they wanted to change the procedures for collision avoidance. One would think they would put more research into strengthening the lateral aspects of the bow.
