Japanese warship damaged after collision with cargo vessel
2009-10-28
A Japanese warship collided with a cargo ship off southern Japan yesterday, injuring three crew members and starting fires on both vessels. The JS Kurama and the South Korean container vessel Carina Star collided in the Kanmon Strait, some 500 miles southwest of Tokyo. Last night, there was still smoke coming from the vessel, which has 360 crew members on board, though authorities said that fires were under control.

Defence officials said that the destroyer suffered a damaged bow, but was capable of returning to port unaided. Toshimi Kitazawa, Japan’s Defence Minister told a press conference: “We deeply apologise to people for causing concern. We will quickly find out what caused the accident.”
