Second Collision for UK Warship HMS Chiddingfold in Bahrain Port

No injuries reported but significant damage sustained; HMS Bangor due for decommissioning next year.

HMS Chiddingfold and HMS Bangor, two UK Royal Navy warships, collided at a port in Bahrain, causing significant damage but no injuries.
The collision is the second for HMS Chiddingfold, which also collided with HMS Penzance in 2021.
Both ships are specialist minesweeper vessels, part of the UK's long-standing presence in the Gulf to ensure the safe flow of trade.
An investigation into the cause of the collision is underway, with officials stating that changes in procedure will be implemented if necessary to prevent future incidents.
HMS Bangor is due to be decommissioned next year.
