CNN: US Navy sailor on board Norwegian frigate that sank after collision
A US Navy sailor was serving as an exchange officer onboard the Norwegian naval frigate that was struck by a freighter and has now almost entirely sunk, according to the US. Navy and the Norwegian Ministry of Defense.
The Norwegian government's Accident Investigation Board is investigating the incident, and the US has been informed that the American sailor may be part of that investigation. The sailor has not been identified, and his exact role on the ship is unknown.
A large hole was torn into the side of KNM Helge Ingstad when it collided with a Malta-registered oil tanker, Sola TS, in the early hours of November 8.
The frigate, one of five in the Scandinavian country's navy, had been moving around inner fjords in western Norway for navigation training before it collided with the 250-meter long tanker (820 feet) that was sailing out of an oil terminal.

OK trying logic here for a second:
Ship sinks - US navy sailor on board - must have been his fault - ie the US navy wrecked another ship and that can only mean the Russians did it! Freaking Russians. ..they're everywhere. .stealing elections,sinking ships and what not. ..Putin winning!!! -CNN
No one, I am sure, ever accused you of using logic. Snark? your thing...stay with Fox, where Trump too is at home among the falsehoods
Our US Navy seems to be specializing in this kind of accidents.
Hope he wasn't at the wheel doing something stupid.
They don't have the ability to "see" other ships in their immediate area?
HAHAHAHA Fred riding in on his high horse again! Really he is just floating on by in his emotional cunt froth bubble, complaining every time he brushes close to someones thorn of reality. Stick with CNN, you failed creepy porn peddling english professor. Read the class your poem and float away. Underdeveloped man child.
Leave the little parrot alone. Not everyone is meant to be a thinker. Some are just meant to be cnn viewers and that's OK. We all need more people like Jim Acosta or Don Lemon in our lives. Those guys are totally stable and not an embarrassment to the network and profession
