Ship Collision in the Mediterranean: US Aircraft Carrier Collides with Cargo Ship
The USS Harry S. Truman, a US Navy aircraft carrier, collided with the Panamanian-flagged cargo ship “Beşiktaş-M” off the coast of Egypt.
Near the city of Port Said in Egypt, the USS Harry S. Truman, operated by the US Navy, collided with the cargo ship Beşiktaş-M yesterday.
In a statement by the Navy, it was mentioned that “The collision did not endanger the Harry S. Truman, and no reports of flooding or injuries were reported. Propulsion systems remain unaffected, and the situation is safe and stable. The incident is under investigation.”
The USS Harry S. Truman has been on duty in the Red Sea since December last year as part of a mission to prevent attacks on commercial and military ships by Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen.
