A US Navy fuel ship deployed to the Middle East suffered damage on Monday after apparently running into something.

A Navy official told Business Insider on Tuesday that the replenishment oiler USNS Big Horn appears to have been involved in an "allision" in the Arabian Sea.

An allision is a term for when a moving ship strikes a stationary object. The official did not say what the Big Horn hit, only that it took damage. No crew members were said to have been injured in the incident.

The Navy official said that the extent of the damage is still being assessed and that an investigation is ongoing. The Big Horn was anchored off the coast of Oman earlier on Tuesday, but commercial tugboats are bringing the vessel to a nearby port.

That the Big Horn was involved in an incident was first reported on Tuesday by gCaptain, a maritime news outlet. The report said rumors indicated the oiler ran aground and cited leaked video and photos purporting to show damage to the vessel and flooding inside.

The Big Horn is a Henry J. Kaiser-class replenishment oiler that can provide fuel to other warships while at sea. Multiple Navy assets, including the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, are deployed to the Middle East region.

The Big Horn refueled the carrier Abraham Lincoln just two weeks ago, according to US military photos.
