A nuclear submarine has collided with a cruiser during routine operations off the east coast of the US.

The US Fleet Forces Command said the Los Angeles-class submarine USS Montpelier and the Aegis cruiser USS San Jacinto collided at about 3.30pm on Saturday.

No one was injured, and the extent of any damage to the vessels was not clear on Saturday evening, said Lieutenant Commander Brian Badura.

"We have had circumstances where navy vessels have collided at sea in the past, but they are fairly rare as to how often they do take place," Badura told the Associated Press.

Navy officials said the collision was under investigation, but declined to give details on where the incident took place or what would happen next.

"If we do have an incident that does take place, there are folks that swing into action … to help us make a better, more conclusive explanation of exactly what happened," Badura said.

The news release said overall damage to both ships was being evaluated and that the sub's propulsion plant was unaffected by the collision.

Both ships are based at Norfolk, Virginia, and are operating on their own power.

The Pentagon said late on Saturday it was investigating how the collision had taken place.

Hope they can figure out why this can even happen. There needs to be some sort of full-time environmental awareness built into the nav systems. I am not a rocket scientist but it does seem so logical. If Detroit can build this into their cars then why can't the Pentagon geniuses do it too. Their hardware far exceeds the value of a Cadillac.

"The Pentagon said late on Saturday it was investigating how the collision had taken place."

By running into, or hitting each other?

We knew the Military were saying they were going to stand by the people absolutely. So it stands to reason there are good guys and bad guys in the Military. Good vs. Evil everywhere.
