30 🇺🇸 U.S sailors and Marines were injured in a training “accident” off North Florida, including five who required hospitalization, according to the U.S. Navy.

One sailor remained hospitalized Friday for treatment of injuries sustained after two Navy air-cushioned landing craft, or LCACs, collided during a training exercise off Florida Wednesday evening, injuring 30 sailors and Marines, Navy officials said Friday afternoon.

The service is investigating the mishap, which happened off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida, during a pre-deployment Composite Training Unit Exercise with amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD-1), amphibious transport dock ship USS New York (LPD-21) and the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group, U.S. 2nd Fleet officials said a statement Friday afternoon to USNI.

There were 18 sailors and 20 Marines aboard the two LCACs when the craft collided, and 30 of them were injured. “Both LCACs involved in the incident remained afloat and have since returned to their ships,” Lt. Cmdr. Kristi Johnson, 2nd Fleet deputy public affairs officer, said in a statement. One LCAC came from Wasp, the other from New York.

“A third LCAC rendered immediate assistance and transported all 38 sailors and Marines” to the two ships, where medical personnel evaluated them for treatment, Johnson said.

“One sailor remains under medical care at a hospital in Savannah, Georgia, and our primary focus is on our sailor’s health and well-being,” Johnson said. “We will continue to provide updates as information is available. The incident remains under investigation.

“Five sailors who were injured were medically evacuated for further care at Savannah Memorial University Medical Center, and four have been released from the hospital after treatment, Navy officials said. Other sailors and Marines with minor injuries were treated aboard Wasp and New York.

Fleet officials provided no further details about the incident.

Wasp is the lead ship for the Norfolk, Virginia, based Wasp Amphibious Ready Group, which has embarked the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, for scheduled training ahead of a planned overseas deployment.

“The recovery and investigation processes are ongoing, and more information will be provided by U.S. 2nd Fleet once available,” 2nd Fleet said.

The world does not revolve around US Visa.

The US is not even among the top 10 choice destinations in the world.

As wack as these US equipments are, the Russians can't overrun a small Ukraine with no real military.

He’s doing so to emancipate your likes from slave mentality.
Your likes believes only positive things happens in the west just like their media portrays , while all the negative things happen in Africa.

That’s the reason why you always doubt every positive news from Nigeria or Africa but you get angry when negative stories comes up from the west because you’ve been conditioned to believe they’re super HEROS.
Thank you Op for striking the balance achieve this cold Heineken

Leave Russia out of your business, western media has brainwashed you to the extent you’re making excuses for their failure to belittle Russia to exonerate them .

Change Tv stations and media outlet to give you full comprehension about the war .
Are you aware you can’t renew your port in Ukraine if you’re 18-60 yrs old ?

European nations wants to force Ukraine citizens in their countries to Ukraine to fight because no one is willing to enter the meat grinder in the name of war.

Ukraine have been losing territories since last year to date no gains , all they do is target Russia oil field so they can’t have more money to Bombard them , Ukraine can’t fight any longer unless they receive aid that’s a suicide mission and the height of stupidity.

Maybe for you is not but for many, US will always be their first destination and the reason is that they have more opportunity than any other country out there.
