The US Navy explained how the carrier collided with the Besiktas-M ship at about 11:46 pm on Wednesday while operating near Port Said in the Mediterranean Sea.
So far, no more reports of injuries taking center stage or any kind of flooding arising on the Truman were shared. The giant vessel has the capability of holding 5000 crew members as per a statement mentioned by the US Sixth Fleet. Right now, the whole investigation is still being conducted to determine what happened and why.
The carrier’s nuclear propulsion was said to be working in a safe and stable manner. The vessel is said to be a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. It was first deployed last year in the fall season to protect the interests in the Middle East after Iran’s missile barrage on Israel.
The carrier was said to be involved in a number of missile strikes against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels which are located inside Yemen and continue to plague the Red Sea which is a popular trade route in solidarity with the Hamas.
