(Feb 12): A US warship and a Navy supply vessel collided during refuelling Wednesday afternoon, the US Southern Command told Reuters in an emailed statement on Thursday. The Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Truxtun and the Supply-class fast combat support ship USNS Supply collided during a replenishment at sea, said the statement from the Southern Command, whose areas of responsibility include Central and South America and the Caribbean. "Two personnel reported minor injuries and are in stable condition," it said. The incident is currently under investigation and both ships have reported sailing safely, the statement added. The Wall Street Journal first reported that the collision took place near South America, saying the cause was not yet clear.
