A U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, U.S.S. Harry S. Truman, collided with a merchant ship near Port Said, Egypt. Operating under U.S. Central Command and previously active in the Red Sea, the carrier reported no injuries or flooding. Powered by nuclear reactors, its systems remained stable post-collision. This incident marks a break from a recent trend of safety for the Navy, which had previously experienced serious collisions in 2017 that led to fatalities and major investigations into operational errors among crews.
The U.S.S. Harry S. Truman collided with a merchant vessel late Wednesday in the Mediterranean Sea, but no injuries or flooding were reported.
