The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry
S. Truman (CVN 75) has arrived at U.S. Naval Support Activity Souda
Bay, Greece, for emergency repairs following a collision with a merchant vessel near Port Said, Egypt. The incident occurred on February 12 at approximately 11:46 p.m. local
time when the carrier collided with the Panama-flagged bulk carrier MV
Besiktas-M, which had just completed transit through the Suez Canal.
The collision caused damage to the carrier’s
starboard quarter, affecting multiple spaces including storage rooms, a
maintenance space, line handling space, and the fantail. However, aircraft
elevator number three remained unaffected and fully operational. “While the ship is fully mission capable
and the ship conducted flight operations following the collision, pulling into
port for emergent repairs will enable the ship to continue deployment as
scheduled,” said Capt. Dave Snowden, Harry S. Truman’s commanding
officer.
The Forward Deployed Regional Maintenance Center
(FDRMC) will oversee the Emergent Repair Availability (ERAV), with support from
an assessment team including structural engineers and naval architects from
Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Local industry partners and ship’s force personnel will
assist in the repair effort.
“The Forward Deployed Regional Maintenance Center’s
ability to mobilize resources within and outside the theater to conduct repairs
underscores the warfighting capability of the world’s most powerful Navy,” said
Vice Adm. J. T. Anderson, commander U.S. Sixth Fleet.The incident occurred as the carrier was returning from combat
operations in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, where it had
been supporting strikes against Iran-backed Houthi targets in Yemen. Despite
the collision, there were no reports of flooding or injuries, and the ship’s
propulsion plants remained unaffected.
The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group continues
to maintain operational status across geographic regions. The strike group
includes Carrier Air Wing 1, USS Gettysburg (CG 64), and three
Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers: USS Stout, USS The
Sullivans, and USS Jason Dunham.
The collision remains under investigation.
