Tanker collides with US navy ship
An oil tanker collided with a US navy ship near the Strait of Hormuz yesterday, but no one was hurt, the Bahrain-based US Fifth Fleet said.
“The collision between USS Porter (DDG 78) and the Panamanian-flagged bulk oil tanker M/V Otowasan occurred at approximately 1am local time,” a statement on the Fifth Fleet’s website said. It said the Porter was a guided-missile destroyer and the oil tanker was Japanese-owned. The navy vessel remained able to operate under its own power after the collision, which was not combat-related, the statement added.

Thanks Gulf Times for ...Thanks Gulf Times for reporting the story with such focus and detail!
I pray one day a newspaper will open in Doha that isn't so afraid to print the news, rather than just press releases stripped of anything that might cause someone somewhere some offence or embarrassment.

Right time and place but the wrong lane... ...Well this time the americans may not have been required to give a lot of excuses as Japan is a client state of the USA and the Americans have a huge military base in Okinawa against the wishes of the local japanese population and their goverment seems to be blindly supporting Uncle Sam
