pulling into port for emergent repairs will enable the ship to continue deployment as scheduled,” said Capt The damage was located just behind one of the carrier’s aircraft elevators There were no injuries caused by the collision and the ship’s propulsion plants also were unaffected where a team of engineers and naval architects will carry out a full survey of damaged areas and develop a repair

said Truman strike group commander Rear Adm “Our mission has not changed and we remain committed to responding to any challenge in this dynamic and global security environment,” Bailey said in a statement Sunday The Navy is investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident Crete for emergency repairs after a collision damaged her starboard quarter on Wednesday night The impact caused minor damage to the hull and several exterior structures but the impact was comparatively limited.  “While the ship is fully mission capable and the ship conducted flight operations following the collision pulling into port for emergent repairs will enable the ship to continue deployment as scheduled,” said Capt The hull damage - all above the waterline - includes the exterior bulkheads of two storage rooms and a maintenance space the aircraft elevator located in the same area sustained no damage and the command says that it is fully operational.  Forward-deployed maintenance units in Souda Bay are carrying out an assessment and repair process to fix the damage.  Truman Carrier Strike Group (HSTCSG) units remain operational across geographic regions in support of their component commanders,” said Rear Adm “Our mission has not changed and we remain committed to responding to any challenge in this dynamic and global security environment.” The Navy has not yet released the details of Truman's collision with the bulker Besiktas M which occurred off Port Said at about 2345 hours local time on Wednesday night From images of the damage aboard Besiktas M the merchant ship's starboard bow appears to have made contact underneath the deck overhang on Truman's starboard quarter tearing a mooring winch free of the bulker's forecastle.  This work, Wasp Arrives in Souda Bay, by

photographs showing mostly superficial damage to the ship’s starboard quarter side likely mean Truman could be patched up and soon resume its deployment “The maintenance capabilities at Souda Bay should be able to (provide) temporary repairs that should carry the ship through the rest of its deployment to the point where permanent repairs can be made,” said Steven Wills a naval analyst with the Center for Maritime Strategy at the Navy League of the United States Wills and other analysts also pointed out that there are other suitable locations for repairs in the region Unless more significant problems are discovered such as something involving Truman’s propulsion system the Navy likely will keep the carrier on station chair of the maritime strategy program at the Naval War College in Newport A shortened deployment and return to Norfolk could complicate a tight maintenance and deployment schedule for the service’s other 10 carriers something the Navy would be eager to avoid “You don’t lightly bring a ship home from deployment,” Holmes said The collision with Besiktas-M occurred after Truman had left Souda Bay With an uneasy truce in Gaza and the Russian presence in the region reduced after the fall of the Bashar Assad regime in Syria “The region remains unsettled but in no obvious need of major firepower like a carrier air wing,” Holmes said “You don’t need a

destroyer, to the southern border Defense officials say the goal of deploying the Gravely is to secure the border and curb illegal immigration the warship departed from the Naval Weapons Station Yorktown in Virginia having previously served in the Middle East shooting down Houthi missiles over the Red Sea “The deployment of Gravely marks a vital enhancement to our nation’s border security framework,” said Adm “In collaboration with our interagency partners Gravely strengthens our maritime presence and exemplifies the Navy’s commitment to national security and safeguarding our territorial integrity with professionalism and resolve.” Defense officials didn't specify the Gravely’s exact destination Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment team will be on board the Gravely The deployment of the Gravely follows President Donald Trump’s January executive order establishing a national emergency at the southern border “USS Gravely’s deployment will contribute to the U.S Northern Command southern border mission as part of the DOD’s coordinated effort in response to the Presidential Executive Order,” said Gen “Gravely’s sea-going capacity improves our ability to protect the United States’ territorial integrity Leerink Partners analyst Puneet Souda said Grail is likely to remain “a cautionary tale in diagnostics for years to come.” aiming to speed adoption of the liquid biopsy test The unusual move — before either the European Commission or Federal Trade Commission had concluded reviews of the transaction — ran afoul of regulators from the start and brought orders to unwind the Grail acquisition The EU was concerned that Illumina’s control of Grail would stifle the development of rival blood-based early cancer detection tests, and ultimately fined the company a record 432 million euros for jumping the gun to complete the acquisition before securing antitrust approval Illumina was also forced to contend with a proxy challenge from Icahn, who argued Grail was draining the company’s finances and backed a divestiture. Shareholders voted out company Chairman John Thompson, and CEO Francis deSouza resigned weeks later Grail is set to become an independent company once again "As we prepare to lead the next era of genomics innovation we believe [Grail] will play an important role in advancing the industry and improving human health,” Illumina CEO Jacob Thaysen said in a statement cautioned that the outlook for multi-cancer detection tests is uncertain without Medicare support to pay for them The analyst said Grail expects a $250 million cash burn in the second half of 2024 Illumina will provide $775 million in funds as part of the separation “It's hard to say if [Grail] will find investors willing to fund its R&D and commercial operations,” Souda wrote “It's also important to note that Galleri is not FDA approved and the growth outlook for any screening test that is not FDA approved for average-risk individuals is limited and risky.” Illumina shareholders will receive one share of Grail common stock for every six shares of Illumina common stock held at the close of business on June 13 Grail has applied to list its shares on Nasdaq under the ticker "GRAL.” Get the free daily newsletter read by industry experts The devices from Recor and Medtronic are intended to treat high blood pressure but recommended against approval of the latter From vulnerable medical devices to a breach that took some of Henry Schein’s systems offline cybersecurity was a key topic for the industry this year The free newsletter covering the top industry headlines Five cruise ships are expected to dock in Chania by Saturday confirming the momentum recorded by maritime tourism in Crete but is part of a broader context of impressive growth as 2025 is set to be a record year for Souda with 201 cruise ship arrivals from April to December Against the backdrop of the arrival of the impressive Marella Discovery 2 with 1,841 passengers on Easter Monday Chania is once again welcoming thousands of visitors by sea as the tourist port of Souda prepares for one of the busiest summers in its history with a peak in September (34 arrivals) and high mobility in June it should be emphasized that Souda and Greece in general are approached by luxury cruise ships such as the Disney Fantasy thus giving prestige and economic momentum to our destination The cruise in Chania may not be just an ephemeral image of a tourist boom but a strategic advantage for the local community it must also have the corresponding support of local bodies the historic market of Chania remains closed for another year with the economic bodies of the island speaking of a long delay that does not contribute to the promotion of the destination internationally was the ultimate destination for cruise visitors to Chania with what this implies for the promotion of the destination Everyone's wish is that 26 will be the year of its reopening after a long period of maintenance and modernization Nafplio at the epicenter of world yachting with the 10th Mediterranean Yacht Show Samaria Gorge “War Zone” – “Others Decide, We Pay the Price” Argosaronic Islands: Need for a long-term strategy and modern infrastructure FedHATTA | Tourism Bridges between Greece and the Chinese province of Guizhou Top distinctions for Greece and Santorini at the American Leisure Lifestyle Awards 2025 HOTREC | Supporting SMEs in European Hospitality Tourism | Promoting Crete in the Arabian Gulf Aegean and Emirates expand their partnership Delta | Athens is in 5th place in American searches for 2025 Promotion of Preveza on the metro and tram in Athens TripAdvisor Awards 2025 | Elafonisi Beach World's Best Beach - 9th in Crete, Sani Beach Award 12th BAJAGREECE: Motorsports Competition in Western Macedonia Crete also invests in cycling tourism - 13th Pediadas Tour Competitions with a summer and autumn backdrop: Attica runs at the pace of sports ATM'25 - Tourism | The fight against food waste at the forefront of sustainable development easyJet holidays | Fam trips to Santorini, Skiathos and Rhodes Chania: The next actions of the “Tourism Partnership” Navarino Challenge returns on May 9-11, 2025 Cruise Takeoff in Chania – Record Arrivals in the First Quarter of 2025 Three Greek beaches among the world’s 50 best – Triumph for the Ionian The “Typhoon” that saves the Greek coasts from garbage EOT at the “Arabian Travel Market” | Interest from Gulf countries, India, and Australia CERT to manage Vasilitsa Ski Resort – Investment of over 20 million euros Is American tourism in Europe “slowing down”?
