Atomic sub collides off Bahrain
MANAMA: A US nuclear powered submarine which collided with a Turkish cargo ship off Bahrain is now at Mina Salman for repairs.
Nobody was injured and damage was minor, a spokesman for both vessels said yesterday.
The USS Philadelphia was travelling on the surface water when it slammed into the Turkish-flagged bulk carrier M/V Yaso Aysen at about 2am, said a statement from the Fifth Fleet.
The collision happened about 50km northeast of Bahrain, said Fifth Fleet spokesman Commander Jeffrey Breslau.
The Philadelphia was conducting surface operations on its way to Bahrain for a scheduled visit, the Navy said.
In July 2004, the aircraft-carrier USS John F Kennedy collided with a dhow in the Gulf, leaving no survivors on the traditional Arab sailing boat."
