美海軍新年首撞

This post was updated to include a statement from U.S. Fleet Forces Command and additional details about damage to the ships.

A U.S. guided-missile cruiser and Navy resupply ship have collided off the coast of Florida during a training exercise on Tuesday, USNI News has learned.

USS Leyte Gulf (CG-55) and USNS Robert E. Peary (T-AKE-5) collided during a training exercise as part of a pre-deployment workup at about 4 p.m. EST. There were no casualties and only minor damage above the waterline to both ships, three sources familiar with the collision told USNI News. A Navy official told USNI News that the supply ship suffered an 8-inch gash above the waterline and Leyte Gulf suffered minor damage to flight-deck netting and two lifeboats were dislodged. Neither ship took on water.

“No personnel were injured when a U.S. Navy guided-missile cruiser and dry cargo ship made contact during an underway replenishment off the southeastern coast of the United States, Feb. 5,” U.S. Fleet Forces Command said in a statement to USNI News following an earlier version of this post.
“USS Leyte Gulf (CG-55) and USNS Robert E. Peary (T-AKE-5) were able to safely operate after the incident. Damage will be assessed when the ships pull into port.”

The pair were conducting a planned turn together during an underway replenishment when the sterns of the two ships brushed together. Underway replenishments, in which ships take on supplies while on the move, are among the most dangerous tasks a warship can perform in peacetime. Ships can operate as close as 150 feet from each other during an UNREP.

The ships were operating with aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) as part of a training exercise when the collision occurred, USNI News has learned.

Leyte Gulf and Peary are expected to rejoin the exercise next week, a Navy official told USNI News.

The Lincoln Carrier Strike Group has been operating off the East Coast of the U.S. since Jan. 25 as part of its Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX). This is the final exercise and certification event ahead of the deployment, and it is meant to show the entire group – the carrier, the air wing, the destroyer squadron and the cruiser – can come together and successfully execute the range of missions they could be asked to conduct during a deployment. The COMPTUEX was expected to last several weeks, and the strike group will likely deploy in the late March or early April timeframe.

Tuesday’s incident is much less severe than a spate of ship collisions in 2017 in the Western Pacific – two fatal and two non-fatal – that resulted in the combined deaths of 17 sailors.

Following two reviews into the collisions, the Navy has been on a campaign to improve the safety and performance of its surface fleet.

該帖子已更新，其中包括美國艦隊司令部的聲明以及有關船舶損壞的其他詳細信息。

據USNI新聞報導，美國導彈巡洋艦和海軍再補給船在周二的訓練演習中與佛羅里達海岸相撞。

USS Leyte Gulf（CG-55）和USNS Robert E. Peary（T-AKE-5）在訓練期間相撞，作為下午4點左右部署前檢查的一部分。美東時間。三位熟悉碰撞的消息人士告訴USNI新聞，這兩艘船都沒有人員傷亡，只有輕微的損壞。一名海軍官員告訴USNI新聞，供水船在水線以上遭受8英寸的傷口，萊特灣遭受飛行甲板網的輕微損壞，兩艘救生艇被驅逐。這兩艘船都沒有用水。

“美國海軍導彈巡洋艦和乾貨船在2月5日美國東南沿海地區進行補給時，沒有人員受傷，”美國艦隊司令部在向USNI新聞發表的一份聲明中說道。這篇文章的早期版本。
事件發生後，“USS Leyte Gulf（CG-55）和USNS Robert E. Peary（T-AKE-5）能夠安全地運作。當船舶駛入港口時，將評估損壞情況。“

當兩艘船的桅杆齊平時，兩人正在進行一次計劃中的轉彎。正在進行的補給，船舶在移動中接受供應，是軍艦在和平時期可以執行的最危險的任務。在UNREP期間，船舶可以相距150英尺的距離運行。

據USNI新聞報導，當發生碰撞時，這些船隻與航母USS Abraham Lincoln（CVN-72）一起作為訓練演習的一部分。

一名海軍官員告訴USNI新聞，Leyte Gulf和Peary預計將在下週重新參加演習。

林肯航空公司罷工集團自1月25日開始在美國東海岸開展業務，作為其綜合訓練單元演習（COMPTUEX）的一部分。這是部署之前的最後一次演習和認證活動，它旨在展示整個團隊 - 航母，空中機翼，驅逐艦中隊和巡洋艦 - 可以聚集在一起，成功執行他們可能的任務範圍。要求在部署期間進行。 COMPTUEX預計將持續數週，而罷工組可能會在3月底或4月初的時間段內部署。

週二的事件遠不如2017年在西太平洋發生的一系列船舶碰撞嚴重 - 兩人死亡，兩人死亡 - 導致17名船員死亡。

在對碰撞事件進行兩次審查之後，海軍一直致力於改善其水面艦隊的安全性和性能。
