PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) β€”The Norfolk-based USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) was involved in a collision with another vessel while in the Mediterranean Sea on Wednesday, according to U.S. Navy Cmdr. Timothy Gorman, U.S. Sixth Fleet spokesperson.

The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier was reported to be involved in a collision with the merchant vessel Besiktas-M while operating in the vicinity of Port Said, Egypt.

The ships collided near Port Said around 11:46 p.m. local time, Gorman said.

No injuries or flooding was reported. The propulsion plants were unaffected and remain in a safe and stable condition. The incident is under investigation. More information will be released as it becomes available.

The Truman deployed to the Mediterranean and Middle East in September and just finished a port call in Souda Bay, Greece, according to the Associated Press.
