USS Hartford and USS New Orleans collision
The USS ''Hartford'' and USS ''New Orleans'' collision was a collision between the United States Navy and the United States Navy on 20 March 2009. It occurred in the Strait of Hormuz, between Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and Musandam, an exclave of Oman. Both ships incurred millions of dollars' worth of damage in the collision which required repair in drydock.
A U.S. Navy investigation into the collision found that the ''Hartford'' was solely to blame for the accident. According to the Navy, the accident was caused by poor, lax leadership on the submarine and a failure to adequately prepare for and conduct the crossing of the Hormuz Strait by the crew. As a result, the captain and several other officers and sailors were removed or disciplined.
==Collision==
The collision occurred about 1:00 am local time (5:00 pm EST, 19 March 2009) as ''Hartford'' and ''New Orleans'' transited the Strait of Hormuz. The collision inflicted minor injuries on 15 sailors on the ''Hartford'' and ruptured a fuel tank on the ''New Orleans,'' spilling of diesel fuel. Both vessels continued on under their own power.〔 The ''Hartford'' was submerged and at periscope depth at the time of the collision. The vessel was southbound en route to Jebel Ali, while ''New Orleans'' was westbound to enter the Persian Gulf as part of the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group.〔Scutro, Andrew, "(Report: Lax leadership led to Hormuz collision )", ''Military Times'', 15 November 2009.〕
''Hartford'' is believed to have rolled about 85° during the collision and sustained extensive damage to its sail, periscope and port bow plane, totalling over $100 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sub rolled 85 degrees after collision )〕 There was no damage to the nuclear reactor.〔 An inspection of ''New Orleans'' in Manama, Bahrain by Navy divers found a hole in the ship's hull, a ruptured fuel tank, and interior damage to two ballast tanks.
