OTTAWA–One of the navy’s four submarines was hit by another naval vessel yesterday while docked at CFB Esquimalt in British Columbia.
A naval spokesman said HMCS Chicoutimi was docked in the harbour when an Orca-class training vessel that was moving at low speed bumped up against the sub.
Navy Lt. Greg Menzies said no one was injured.
He added the two vessels sustained only minor scrapes, although a more detailed damage assessment of the submarine was being conducted.
Defence officials were investigating the cause of the crash.
