Posted by Arms Control Center in ARMED FORCES, tags: Arabian Sea, collision, Navy, Russia, ship, US, US destroyer, USS Farragut, warshipThe US and Russian navy ships almost managed to collide before the Russian warship changed its course. Reports from the US Navy stated that the Russian ship was approaching the US destroyer aggressively in the Arabian Sea and the crew of the USS Farragut used its horn to give five warning blasts before the Russian ship performed a maneuver to avoid colliding with the other ship. The Russian Defense ministry denied the claims and stated that it was the US Navy that violated the international rules.
