From Fox News: Two U.S. Navy sailors were injured on Wednesday after a U.S. Navy destroyer and a supply ship collided in the Caribbean, military officials said.
“Yesterday afternoon, the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Truxtun (DDG103) and the Supply-class fast combat support ship USNS Supply (T-AOE-6) collided during a replenishment-at-sea,” a U.S. Southern Command spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News on Thursday.
Two personnel reported minor injuries but are in stable condition, the official said, adding that both ships have reported sailing safely.
The incident occurred as the two ships were positioned side-by-side for the transfer of supplies and fuel.
The report explains that both ships were part of the military buildup in the Caribbean that President Donald Trump ordered in recent months to combat drug trafficking in the region.
