One of the ships hit the stern of another ship that was docked. There is no reliable information yet on the extent of the damage caused.
Two minesweepers of the British Navy, Chiddingfold and Bangor, collided in the port of Bahrain (Persian Gulf). This was announced by a representative of the British Navy, reports the UK Defense Journal.
According to him, no one was killed because of this incident, the investigation is ongoing.
Judging by the video, one of the ships hit the stern of another docked. There is no reliable information yet on the extent of the damage caused.
Chiddingfold and Bangor ships search for sea mines and conduct coastal patrols. Their body is made of plastic, which facilitates mine-resistant operation. Sonars aboard both vessels are capable of detecting an object the size of a soccer ball at a distance of 1,000 meters. This gives them the ability to clear mines, allowing larger ships to pass.
