It said two US soldiers and two crew members from the merchant vessel were injured when the McCampbell and the Kiribati-flagged Rokya 1collided late on Saturday about 30 nautical miles southeast of the Iraqi coastline. ?The cause of the accident is under investigation,? it said in a statement, adding that both ships had sustained damage to their bows but were seaworthy.
McCampbell is conducting maritime security operations under the Combined Task Force 58, which is responsible for the security of Iraqi oil terminals, the Navy said.
