We were approached by ProPublica to visually support the Pulitzer winning story Collision Course. The brief was to recreate an illustrated version of the flawed navigation system aboard the USS John S. McCain. Through consultation with experts, and using a mix of program manuals and photographs, we built a 3D replica of the nav system aboard the ship.
