One of Canada's four submarines has been hit by another naval vessel while docked at CFB Esquimalt.
A naval spokesman says HMCS Chicoutimi was docked in the harbour when an Orca-class training vessel that was heading out of sea rubbed up against it.
The Orca-class vessel Cougar was exiting Esquimalt Harbour when it hit HMCS Chicoutimi, which was stationed at a jetty, around 8 a.m.
Thursday.
No one was hurt and the two vessels sustained only minor damage.
HMCS Chicoutimi, one of Canada's four submarines, has been docked at CFB Esquimalt for months as crews attempt to get it back to battle-ready condition.
