Navy Destroyers Collide

News reports say the destroyers USS McFaul (DDG-74) and USS Winston Churchill (DDG-81) collided off the coast of Jacksonville Monday; damage was minor, and no one was injured. McFaul was damaged in the forward anchor housing, as this picture shows. (A high res shot is also available.) Damage to the Churchill seems also limited to the bow, on the port side. (Here's the high res shot for that one.) Both ships returned to port in Norfolk today. More later if I read anything else.

Update 0043 07 Oct: Both COs kept their jobs...
