The United States Navy has confirmed that the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman was involved in a collision with a commercial vessel off the northern coast of Egypt.
According to a statement from US Naval Forces Europe-Africa on Friday, February 14, 2025, the incident took place on Wednesday in the Mediterranean Sea near Port Said.
Despite the collision, the navy assured that the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier did not sustain any significant damage, nor were there any water leaks or injuries among the crew.
The carrier’s propulsion systems remained fully operational, and its overall condition was deemed safe and stable.
However, an official investigation has been launched to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
While the US Navy has provided details regarding the aircraft carrier, no information has been released about the condition of the commercial vessel involved or whether its crew suffered any injuries.
