The aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and a merchant ship collided Wednesday while operating near Egypt’s Port Said, according to a Navy official.

The Truman was operating in the vicinity of the port on the Mediterranean Sea at about 11:46 p.m. local time when it was involved in a collision with the merchant vessel Besiktas-M, said Cmdr. Timothy Gorman, a spokesperson for the U.S. 6th Fleet.

The collision did not endanger the ship or the crew, Gorman said. There have been no reports of flooding or injuries. Additionally, the propulsion plants are unaffected and in a safe and stable condition.

The Besiktas-M is a bulk cargo carrier sailing under the flag of Panama.

The collision is under investigation.

The Truman deployed in September from Naval Station Norfolk, Va. In December, the ship arrived in the Middle East, where it has spent the past two months supporting multiple strikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen, according to the Navy.

Those actions include attacks on Dec. 30 and 31 against a Houthi command hub, weapons production facility and storage facilities that included missiles and drones.

On Feb. 1, the carrier’s group conducted airstrikes against the Islamic State in Somalia in support of Africa Command and in coordination with the Somali government, the Navy said. Those strikes killed multiple ISIS operatives, the Pentagon said at the time.

Following combat operations, the Truman sailed Feb. 7 to Naval Support Activity Souda Bay on the Greek island of Crete for a working port visit to allow for maintenance to be done and sailors to get a break.
