A US cruiser has collided with a nuclear submarine during naval exercises off the Atlantic coast, reportedly damaging sonar equipment.
Nobody was hurt during the incident on Saturday afternoon and both vessels were still able to operate under their own power afterwards, the navy said.
A spokesman said such collisions were “fairly rare” and an inquiry has begun.
An anonymous naval source told Reuters the collision had caused the cruiser’s sonar dome to collapse.
