The Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer hit a Supply-class fast combat support vessel near South America
Two US Navy vessels collided during a replenishment-at-sea operation in waters near South America, leaving two sailors with minor injuries and prompting an investigation into the incident, military officials confirmed Thursday.
The collision occurred Wednesday as the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Truxtun (DDG-103) and the Supply-class fast combat support ship USNS Supply (T-AOE-6) conducted a standard refueling maneuver, during which ships sail side by side while fuel and supplies are transferred.
US Southern Command confirmed that two personnel reported minor injuries and are in stable condition. Both ships remained operational and were able to sail safely after the incident, officials said.
Video footage shared online appears to show the moment the Truxtun made contact with the Supply, with both vessels still underway at the time.
The location of the collision has not been precisely disclosed but falls within the area of responsibility of US Southern Command, which includes the Caribbean Sea, parts of the South Atlantic, and surrounding regions.
