The USS Benfold, a guided-missile destroyer, sustained minor damage when a tugboat lost propulsion and drifted into the ship, the Navy said. No one was injured on either vessel and an initial assessment of the damage showed that the destroyer only sustained minimal damage including scrapes.

But the accident comes at a time when the Navy's 7th Fleet and the U.S. Pacific Command have come under increased scrutiny after several deadly collisions in the region earlier this year.

Could be wrong, but my gut tells me it was minimal damage consisting of damage limited to scrapes.

Naturally, this is linked to the other more serious incidents to drive the "pattern" theory in order to besmirch our NAVY at much as possible.

Sure would be nice if our media would link Leftist criminal activity in a manner like this. (not gonna happen)

That criminal activity is their sacred cow.

You mean, like nearly 50 women complaining about Bill Clinton making unsolicited sexual advances including rape over several decades, including the years he was in government office? A "pattern" that is denied by democrats? Leftist criminal activity is always ignored by the media. For right-linked activities, "patterns" are invented.

” the destroyer only sustained minimal damage including scrapes.”
