USNS Yukon, a U.S. Navy oil tanker, and USS Essex, an amphibious assault ship, collided about 120 miles off the Southern California coast. The Navy confirmed the incident, adding that the ships were damaged but nobody was injured in the incident. It further said that no fuel was spilled and vessels retained controlling power.
