Two U.S. Navy sailors suffered minor injuries after a guided missile destroyer and a fast combat support ship collided Wednesday afternoon during operations in the Caribbean, according to military officials, as reported by Fox News.

The incident involved the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Truxtun (DDG-103) and the Supply-class fast combat support ship USNS Supply (T-AOE-6).

The ships were conducting a replenishment-at-sea operation when the collision occurred.

“Yesterday afternoon, the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Truxtun (DDG103) and the Supply-class fast combat support ship USNS Supply (T-AOE-6) collided during a replenishment-at-sea,” a U.S. Southern Command spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News on Thursday.

Two personnel reported minor injuries and are in stable condition, the spokesperson said. Both vessels have continued sailing safely following the incident.

The cause of the collision remains under investigation.

The Wall Street Journal first reported the at-sea collision, noting that it took place during a ship-to-ship refueling operation.

Replenishment-at-sea involves the transfer of fuel and supplies between two ships traveling side-by-side, a maneuver that requires precision coordination and seamanship.

USS Truxtun had deployed earlier this month from its home port at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia. USNS Supply is part of the Navy’s logistics fleet.

Although the Navy owns vessels such as the Supply, they are typically operated by civilian mariners.

Both ships were assigned to the military buildup in the Caribbean ordered by Donald Trump in recent months. The deployment was part of broader efforts to combat drug trafficking in the region.

U.S. Southern Command confirmed that despite the collision, the Truxtun and the Supply remain operational and have reported no major damage affecting their ability to continue sailing.

Incidents during replenishment operations are rare but can occur due to the close proximity required between vessels. During such operations, ships maintain steady speeds and minimal separation while fuel lines and supply rigs are extended between them.

No additional details about structural damage or operational impact were immediately released. Officials have not disclosed where in the Caribbean the collision occurred.

The Navy has launched an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the collision and whether procedural or mechanical issues played a role.

The collision comes as U.S. forces continue maritime security operations in the Caribbean under the current deployment framework. Both ships remain part of that effort as the inquiry proceeds.
