USS Harry S. Truman Aircraft Carrier Collides with Merchant Vessel in Mediterranean Sea

The USS Harry S. Truman, a US Navy aircraft carrier, has collided with a Panama-flagged merchant vessel near Egypt in the Mediterranean Sea. Initial reports indicate that there were no injuries or flooding resulting from the incident. Subsequently, the carrier has arrived at Souda Bay in Greece for repairs. Photos of the damage sustained by the ship have been released, revealing significant impacts from the collision. The incident has prompted a naval investigation, and while the situation serves as a chilling reminder of past naval incidents, officials have confirmed that the nuclear propulsion system of the USS Truman remains safe. The collision occurred off the coast of Egypt, as the carrier was returning from operations in the Red Sea.
