The aircraft carrier Uss Harry S. Truman collided on Wednesday evening near Port, Egypt, in the Mediterranean with a large merchant ship.

“The aircraft carrier of the Nimitz class Uss Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) was involved in a collision with the dealer ship Besiktas-M at around 11:46 p.m. local time on February 12th, while he said near port, said: Egypt in the Mediterranean Sea, “said an explanation of the sixth fleet of the US navy.

A US official confirmed that the collision took place, while the airline was of the port and was waiting to enter the Suez Canal to transport back to the Red Sea.

The collision included a rare collision of two large ships when the 100,000-ton aircraft carrier collided with the 53,000-ton dealership ship Besiktas-M, a Panamaically supervised cargo ship.

There are no reports on injuries, nor are there floods, on board the airline, which bears a crew of 5,000 seafarers, and the incident is examined.

Another US official said that the damage to the US airline is above the waterline and it is unclear what effects the operations of the carrier will have.

The Besiktas M was damaged, but not essential and is under its own drive. There were no injuries under the ship crew.

The truman is driven by two nuclear reactors and four drive systems, and the explanation of the sixth fleet states that the drive systems of the ship are not affected and should be in a “safe and stable state”.

The aircraft carrier and his strike group have been in the Red Sea since mid-December as part of the mission, which were thwarted by the Yemen Houthi attacks on commercial ships that brought the vital waterway onto the market.

The airline had arrived on Crete at the beginning of the week, a rare break for the strike group, which was in constant operations, even though the pace came into force as Israel’s ceasefire with Hamas in mid -January.

The Houthis claimed that their attacks on the shipping attack were carried out to support Hamas.
