Two US Navy vessels, the USS Truxtun and the USNS Supply, collided during a ship-to-ship replenishment at sea on Wednesday afternoon.

The incident, which occurred near South America in the Southern Command's area of responsibility, resulted in minor injuries to two personnel who are now in stable condition.

Both ships have been deemed capable of continuing their operations safely, despite the collision.

This isnt really news, this looks like an operations cockup that injured two sailors. Not a "the US Navy is the biggest dick on the seas" or a "The ship with the higher tonnage has the right of way" issue.
