The USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) arrived earlier today at Naval Support Activity Souda Bay in Crete, Greece for repairs, following last week’s collision with the Panamanian-flagged cargo vessel, Besiktas-M, in the Southern Mediterranean near the Suez Canal. Damage to the vessel appears to be mostly superficial, causing no injuries or flooding.

Germany’s top naval officer said “more than one” of its warships were recently sabotaged. A day before, a local report said a Corvette-class vessel had metal shavings poured into its engine system. Without expressly accusing any party, the German naval chief warned of a growing threat from Russia. Kaack’s comments follow a report published on Monday by the local outlet Süddeutsche Zeitung, which said German police were investigating an incident at a Hamburg shipyard where several dozen kilograms of metal shavings were dumped into a corvette-class vessel’s engine system. The broadcasters WDR and NDR reported that the corvette was a brand-new ship called the “Emden”в awaiting delivery to the German military. The outlets reported that it’s scheduled for deployment to the Baltic Sea. Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote that if the shavings hadn’t been detected during an inspection, they would have caused significant damage to the ship.
