U-S-S Chancellorsville in near collision with Russian destroyer

by | Jun 7, 2019 | Military

The U.S. Navy says the Russian destroyer that nearly collided with the USS Chancellorsville made an “unsafe maneuver.”  The U.S. 7th Fleet posted a statement saying the Russian destroyer “maneuvered from behind and to the right of” the USS Chancellorsville and then sped up toward the U.S. ship.  The near-collision happened in the Philippine Sea overnight as the USS Chancellorsville was recovering a helicopter.
