According to reports, the U.S. Navy issued a statement in February this year saying that the U.S. Nimitz-class aircraft carrier "Harry Truman" collided with a merchant ship while operating near Port Said, Egypt in the Mediterranean region on the evening of the 12th. The U.S. Navy said in a statement that the collision did not put the aircraft carrier in a critical state, and there were no reports of water entering the cabin or injuries to personnel. The aircraft carrier's propulsion units were not affected and were in a safe and stable state. The US "Fox" News Network said at the time that photos released by the US Navy showed that there were obvious impact marks on the side of the aircraft carrier's starboard lift, a tear near the stern on the starboard side, and a pipe along the ship's side seemed to have also been severely damaged. The U.S. Naval Academy website stated that these are only part of the aircraft carrier damage, but "other parts of the damage is relatively light."
