In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Photos reveal extent of damage to USS Harry S. Truman after Suez Canal entrance collision, FreedomPoster wrote:
Yes, I immediately thought of him on this.
Sal Mercogliano and his What’s Going on With Shipping YouTube and X feeds are excellent on this. He had the best info on the Key Bridge debacle, for instance.

very timely and informative, thanks for posting
Yeah that'll buff right out.
In reality it really is minor damage, It also looks like the Truman was hit by the freighter and thus more likely to not be at fault. Full investigation will tell the tale.
Civilian ship clips a US carrier, asymmetrical warfare from our Arab brothers?
Yep, Sal, tho’ ill, was on this 4 days ago.
DEI?
Sal’s quick coverage of the rescues of the MSC Baltic III’s sailors was excellent, too.

That chopper pilot must have stones of steel. Or, Titanium, maybe, since weight is a factor for aircraft...
Yep another white captain.
The article doesn’t mention if a Suez Canal pilot was aboard for maneuvering the ship in the vicinity of the Canal. Might be a factor.
The crew will love any shore time they get at Souda on the island of Crete. Huge tasty shrimp - best I ever had.
U.S. Navy’s DEI program strikes again, without doubt...
Houthies driving the other ship?
Where were the destroyers and subs, ashore on leave?
Mothball them if you will not defend them....save the humiliation of a sinking.
I personally don’t think that anyone besides USN Personnel should be allowed to navigate Our Ships.
May they all enjoy their Shore Leave.
Thank You for Your Service.🇺🇸
That will buff right out and it will look like new.
