    pretty big ship

    Both ships were operating near Port Said, Egypt, at the time, Gorman said in a brief news release.

    This is a super busy area. Port Said is at the Mediterranean entrance of the Suez Canal, so both ships were probably in designated navigation channels which would mean restricted maneuvering…

    There should have been a bunch of people on the Truman actively watching everything if that were the case. I wonder if we’ll get to see any of the deck camera footage.
