U.S. Navy says Russian destroyer almost collided with cruiser

TOKYO, June 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. Navy said on Friday a
Russian destroyer almost collided with one of its guided missile
cruisers in the Philippine Sea in an incident it denounced as
"unsafe and unprofessional".
"While operating in the Philippine Sea, a Russian Destroyer
Udaloy I DD 572 made an unsafe manoeuvre against USS
Chancellorsville," U.S. Seventh Fleet spokesman Commander
Clayton Doss said.
He described a Russian assertion that the U.S. ship had
acted dangerously as "propaganda". The Russian destroyer came to
within 50 to 100 feet (15 to 30 metres) of the Chancellorsville,
he said.
