Sportfish boat comes into the USS halfway

A 60-foot sports fishing boat joined the USS on Friday afternoon, and the captain was later arrested for suspected boot driving, while he was under the influence, said a police officer from Hafen.

The incident occurred around 12:45 p.m., Sgt. Armando Ramirez said. He said that the collision caught the attention of several people near the unconditional handover statue, a tribute to the iconic photo of a sailor who kissed a nurse to celebrate the end of the Second World War. It is located near the aircraft carrier, which is now a museum

“We received calls from witnesses,” said Ramirez. “It made a lot of noise when it collided.”

He said the aircraft carrier museum didn't seem to have significant damage.

The fishing boat left the scene, said the Sergeant. The port police intercepted it near the San Diego Coronado bridge. Nobody on the boat was injured. He said the boat suffered minor damage, but there was no water.

The collision soon aroused after an X -Post from Warshipcam, in which a video was released that approaches the boat.
