The US Navy has confirmed that a ballistic missile submarine collided with a support vessel off the coast of Washington State in the Pacific Ocean. No casualties have been reported, while an investigation is currently underway.
The collision of the USS Louisiana and the offshore support vessel took place in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which separates Washington State from Victoria Island, Canada, on August 18. The incident was reported on the US Submarine Force Pacific’s website a day later.


An investigation is underway into why the submarine and the US Navy Offshore Support Vessel collided, while a damage assessment is being carried out.

The two vessels have been taken back to their respective port. The US Navy Offshore Support Vessel returned safely to port at Port Angeles, Washington, and the USS Louisiana returned safely to homeport at Naval Base Kitsap Bangor, Washington.


In July, one of Britain’s newest Astute-class submarines suffered a “glancing collision” with a merchant vessel. However the UK Royal Navy said the HMS Ambush suffered “absolutely no damage” in the incident, which occurred off the coast of Gibraltar.

BANGOR, Wash. (AP) — The Navy says a ballistic-missile submarine and a support vessel collided off the coast of Washington state.


There were no injuries from the Thursday evening incident in the Strait of Juan de Fuca involving the USS Louisiana and the offshore support vessel. In a statement, the Navy said the collision occurred during routine operations.

Damage assessments are being conducted and both vessels returned to port under their own power — the support vessel to Port Angeles, and the submarine to Naval Base Kitsap.

An investigation is ongoing.
