TOKYO (Jan. 9) - A U.S. nuclear-powered submarine collided with a
Japanese oil tanker in the Straits of Hormuz, through which 40
percent of the world's oil supplies travel, officials said.
No one was hurt in the accident that happened Monday night in the
34-mile wide straits, which are bordered by Iran and Oman and serve
as the entrance to the Persian Gulf.
Damage to the fast-attack USS Newport News submarine and the
supertanker was light and there was no resulting spill of oil or
leakage of nuclear fuel, officials from the U.S. Navy and the
Japanese government said.
Both ships remained able to navigate, Navy officials said.
The bow of the submarine was traveling submerged when it hit the
stern of the supertanker Mogamigawa as the vessels were passing
through the Straits, causing minor damage to the Japanese vessel,
the U.S. Navy and Japan's Foreign Ministry said. The Japanese
government said it was informed of the crash by the Navy and the
U.S. Embassy in Tokyo.
The tanker, operated by Japanese shipping company Kawasaki Kisen
Kaisha Ltd., was able to continue to a nearby port in the United
Arab Emirates, the statement said.
Commander Kevin Aandahl of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain
confirmed there had been a crash and that there were no injuries
aboard either ship. Aandahl said the submarine had surfaced and its
crew was evaluating damage.
