[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] The U.S. Navy warship almost collided with an accident on Tuesday local time!

The two warships were in conflict with each other in the Gulf, and almost collided head-on. Fortunately, they escaped after emergency avoidance, but the military will still conduct investigations to clarify the cause.

According to comprehensive foreign media reports, the destroyer USS Momsen (DDG-92) and the landing ship Harpers Ferry (LSD-49) almost collided in San Diego Bay, California on Tuesday morning. 35 yards, at the last moment Momsen turned left quickly, and Harpers Ferry also slowly turned in the opposite direction, avoiding the terrible end of the collision.

Neither warship was damaged, nor were the crew injured.

Navy officials noted that the area is a narrower part of the bay.

In fact, the captains of the two ships had agreed in advance that they would cross in opposite directions at the same time, but it turned out that they were heading towards each other head-on.

Judging from the communication records of the two captains, Momsen said: "We will turn to avoid you", and the Harpers Ferry landing ship responded: "We will do the same."

The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Lincoln, also part of the U.S. Navy's Third Fleet, had a fire accident recently, injuring nine crew members.

Although the incident did not cause a disaster, the Navy still needs to investigate why the two warships fell into such a dangerous situation and hold them accountable.
