US aircraft carrier collides with ship in Mediterranean
Sea

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 (IMO
No.9291365, 188.5×32.32×11.1m) at approximately 11:46 p.m. local
time, Feb. 12, while operating in the vicinity of Port Said, Egypt
(appr. 31°28'.7N 032°20'.7E), 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.
