NEW YORK: Two foreign naval ships arriving in the city for Fleet Week collided off Staten Island on Saturday, causing minor damage to both vessels, event organizers said. No injuries were reported.
The Jean Bart, a French ship, collided with the Moawin, a Pakistani vessel, off Stapleton Pier, Fleet Week organizers said in a news release.
The French frigate struck the port side of the Pakistani support ship, which was already moored, the organizers said.
There was visible damage across 30 feet (9.14 meters) of the French vessel's hull, the organizers said. The Pakistani ship was only superficially damaged. The ships were among eight international military vessels attending Fleet Week, a celebration of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps held every year in New York. --AP
