The Navy’s Forward Deployed Regional Maintenance Center will assess the repairs needed on USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) following the collision.
“The assessment team includes structural engineers, naval architects, and other personnel from FDRMC and Norfolk Naval Shipyard,” reads a statement from the Navy. They will be supported by ship’s force personnel and local industry partners for the repair effort.”
