"Reuters pointed out that vessels at sea are supposed to give way to ships on their starboard."

Notice what side of the USS Fitzgerald was damaged. The Fitzgerald had it's AIS system turned off at the time of the accident, and if it had been on an alarm would of gone off in the bridge of the AX Crystal.

This from Rear Admiral John Kirby,  “there will no doubt be others whose performance during the incident will be found wanting, maybe even negligent. They will also be held to account. There may even be courts-martial that result.”

Every accident has the potential to be a learning experience. Shame is reserved for whose don't learn from their mistakes or act irresponsibly.
