DUBAI (Reuters) - A nuclear-powered U.S. submarine and another U.S. vessel collided on Friday in the Strait of Hormuz but there was no damage to the atomic propulsion unit, the U.S. Navy said.
Fifteen sailors were slightly injured in the collision between the submarine USS Hartford and an amphibious vessel, USS New Orleans, it said in a statement.
"There is no damage to the nuclear propulsion plant of the Hartford," U.S. Navy spokesman Lieutenant Nathan Christensen told Reuters.
