BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: Back in this country, the Pentagon, a developing story on a collision of two Navy vessels and one familiar name involved. Barbara Starr at her post this morning at the Pentagon working this story with more. Barbara good morning.</s>BARBARA STARR, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: Good morning. Yes, well, this incident mostly is an embarrassment to the U.S. Navy. The USS Greeneville collided overnight with the USS Ogden, a transport ship, about 40 miles off the coast of Oman, in the North Arabian Sea. As you remember, the Greeneville was the submarine that just about one year ago collided with a Japanese fishing vessel off the coast of Hawaii, causing several casualties, then last summer, it had another incident. The Greeneville scraped the bottom when it was trying to pull into a Pacific port. This collision last night was not serious, in terms of there were no fatalities, there were no injuries, but again, it is quite an embarrassment to the navy. The Greeneville was on the surface, it was along side the Ogden. They were attempting to transfer some personnel from the Greeneville to the Ogden, when this all occurred. Apparently the Greeneville, basically, clipped the Ogden, causing a 5-inch by 18- inch gash at the back of the ship, below the waterline. Several thousand gallons of fuel were spilled. That watertight compartment was sealed off, so the ship, the Ogden is still seaworthy, but we're told this morning that the Greeneville and the Ogden are both headed to ports for inspection and repair. Bill.</s>HEMMER: All right, Barbara, thanks. Barbara Starr at the Pentagon this morning.
