US aircraft carrier collides with ship in Mediterranean Sea

There are no reported injuries, nor is there flooding aboard the carrier.

The aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman collided with a large merchant vessel Wednesday night in the vicinity of Port Said, Egypt, in the Mediterranean Sea.

"The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) was involved in a collision with the merchant vessel Besiktas-M at approximately 11:46 p.m. local time, Feb. 12, while operating in the vicinity of Port Said, Egypt, in the Mediterranean Sea," a statement from the U.S Navy's Sixth Fleet said.

The collision involved a rare collision of two large vessels as the 100,000-ton aircraft carrier collided with the 53,000-ton merchant vessel Besiktas-M, a Panamanian-flagged cargo ship.

There are no reports of injuries, nor is there flooding, aboard the carrier, which carries a crew of 5,000 sailors, and the incident is under investigation.

The Truman is powered by two nuclear reactors and four propulsion systems, and the Sixth Fleet's statement said the ship's propulsion plants were unaffected and were said to be in "a safe and stable condition."

The aircraft carrier and its strike group had been operating in the Red Sea since mid-December as part of the mission to thwart Houthi militant attacks launched from Yemen at commercial vessels transiting the vital waterway.

The carrier had arrived at a naval base in Crete earlier in the week, a rare break for the strike group that has been in constant operations, though the pace had ebbed as Israel's ceasefire with Hamas took effect in mid-January.

The Houthis have claimed their attacks on shipping were being carried out in support of Hamas.

All the trannies got fired. So the US navy is short on expertise personnel. It explains the collision.

The navy is dominated by sammy's sadly. The immobilization costs of social media and the gamefication of everything. Turns out important stuff takes time and repetition, preferrably from childhood and adolesence.

So it is looking like the merchant ship came out of the canal and was maneuvering through ships waiting to enter when it ran into the carrier.

Sounds like a great way to get a supercarrier blown to hell. WTF is the point of carrier groups if you're going to let ships navigate right up to it?

Trump and his idiot supporters are hoping that a minority is in the chain of command of this carrier so they can blame DEI.

White people deserve some affirmative action after decades of anti-white discrimination.
