The aircraft carrier that collided with a merchant tanker off the coast of Egypt pulled into Souda Bay, Greece, for repairs, U.S. 6th Fleet announced on Sunday.

The Navy’s Forward Deployed Regional Maintenance Center will assess the repairs needed on USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) following the collision.

“The assessment team includes structural engineers, naval architects, and other personnel from FDRMC and Norfolk Naval Shipyard,” reads a statement from the Navy. They will be supported by ship’s force personnel and local industry partners for the repair effort.”

Truman collided with merchant bulker M/V Besiktas-M off the coast of Port Said at the entrance to the Suez Canal on Wednesday night.

The starboard bow of Besiktas-M hit the starboard quarter of Truman as the bulker was exiting the canal bound for Constanta, Romania. The collision damaged a sponson to the rear of Truman’s aft starboard aircraft elevator and pierced the hull above the waterline further aft.

“Damage assessed includes the exterior wall of two storage rooms and a maintenance space. External to the ship, damage assessed includes a line handling space, the fantail and the platform above one of the storage spaces,” reads the statement from 6th Fleet.
“Aircraft elevator number three sustained no damage and is fully operational.”

The Navy intends to resume Truman’s deployment, which began in September.

“While the ship is fully mission capable and the ship conducted flight operations following the collision, pulling into port for emergent repairs will enable the ship to continue deployment as scheduled,” Truman commander Capt. Dave Snowden said in a Sunday statement.

Truman’s damage and repair comes during a pause in attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden by Houthi forces in Yemen. The Houthis stopped the attacks, for now, amidst the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, but leaders hinted last week they could resume.

The commander of the Truman strike group said the other ships, USS Gettysburg (CG-64), USS Stout (DDG 55), USS The Sullivans (DDG-68) and USS Jason Dunham (DDG-109), will continue to operate in the region.

“The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group units remain operational across geographic regions in support of their component commanders,” Rear Adm. Sean Bailey, strike group commander, said in a statement.
“Our mission has not changed and we remain committed to responding to any challenge in this dynamic and global security environment.”

While an investigation is ongoing, the U.S. Navy has released a photo captured in the aftermath of the collision with the merchant vessel Besiktas-M, showing damage to an observation platform.

As already reported here at The Aviationist, the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) aircraft carrier was involved in a collision with a merchant ship in the Mediterranean Sea, off Egypt, on Feb. 13, 2025. The service has now released an image captured in the aftermath of the collision, showing the damage sustained by the vessel.

Judging from what can be seen in the photo, the damage appears to involve the observation platform after the starboard (right side) elevator, just behind the carrier’s island. According to Stars and Stripes, the 6th Fleet has confirmed that the elevator has not been damaged in the collision.

The Truman’s damage shown in the photo and the reported damage to the Besiktas-M’s starboard bow appear to be consistent with the reports of the merchant vessel striking the aircraft carrier with its bow. Some reports also mention that the Besiktas-M might have turned sharply to port (left) and then immediately to starboard, and this would explain why the damage is localized only in those two relatively small areas.

It appears that Besiktas M hit the Truman with her starboard bow. Note the mooring line cable spool sheared off and the damage to the forward starboard hatch coaming.

The collision

Following the collision of Feb. 13, the U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa / U.S. Sixth Fleet released an official statement:

The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) was involved in a collision with the merchant vessel Besiktas-M at approximately 11:46 p.m. local time, Feb. 12, while operating in the vicinity of Port Said, Egypt, in the Mediterranean Sea.

The collision did not endanger the Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) as there are no reports of flooding or injuries. The propulsion plants are unaffected and in a safe and stable condition. The incident is under investigation. More information will be released as it becomes available.

The position of the aircraft carrier and merchant vessel off Port Said was determined by means of AIS on ship tracking website Marine Traffic. AIS data shows the vessel, a bulk carrier registered under the flag of Panama and managed by Synergy Ship Management Turkey, transited through the Suez Channel on Feb. 12, 2025.

On the other hand, the USS Truman and the USS Jason Dunham (DDG 109), which was sailing nearby but was not involved in the collision, were reportedly not transmitting their position. However, the 6th Fleet is investigating and did not discuss whether AIS was deactivated, mentioning it’s too early to comment about the circumstances of the collision.

You can find further details in our previous report here at The Aviationist.
