What if the weapon systems on the ship have been compromised. I can’t believe two friendly fire occurrences so close together. Crews would be checking and double checking before firing after shooting down one of our own planes. It could be a quiet way of telling the US to sit on the sideline.
Also: breaking the encryption or small sabotage during maintenance to install rogue network.
But easiest way would be simply JAMMING at the right moment IFF system. Or to sabotage this system somehow. Or even kind of it's failure and lack of inspection being done.

Hacked is what I thought when the first one was reported.
From what I understand from conversations with someone that maintains the networking on those ships, each ship is a completely isolated network.
Yes, they can communicate with other ships, but the network is completely isolated.
For a 'hack' to happen, it would have to come from the ship, itself.
Otherwise, the entire command infrastructure would have been compromised.

They all should have been court marshalled and the main guy, Marrero, should have been dishonorably discharged in addition to the court marshal.
There is absolutely no room for that type of behavior on a combat vessel.
