A U.S. Navy warship nearly collided with a Russian destroyer in the Philippine Sea after the Russian ship made an “unsafe and unprofessional” maneuver.
A U.S. Navy guided-missile cruiser was forced to execute emergency maneuvers on Friday after a Russian destroyer came between 50 and 100 feet of the American ship, the U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet said.
"This unsafe action forced Chancellorsville to execute all engines back full and to maneuver to avoid collision," the statement continued. Russia's Pacific Fleet argued it was the American ship that changed course without warning, forcing the Russian ship to execute an emergency maneuver to avoid collision.
