The landing craft rammed the ship of the USA from within

The USS Gunston Hall landing ship docking ship was damaged during a storm in the Norwegian Sea. His crew needed medical assistance, but there were no serious injuries - after treatment, the injured sailors returned to service.
Gunston Hall is part of the amphibious assault force of the American fleet, which came to Norway to participate in the large-scale NATO exercises Trident Juncture. In particular, the landing of troops on boats from Gunston Hall on the coast of Iceland was supposed to precede the start of maneuvers, but because of the accident, the performance of American marines was canceled, writes The Drive.

A dock ship headed for the Icelandic coast fell into a violent storm. Due to heavy pitching, the 140-tonnage assault boat LCU 1610 in its hold fell from the bindings and damaged the ship’s communications. Instead of landing Gunston Hall, accompanied by the landing craft, the New York ship went to the port of Reykjavik to assess the damage.
Meanwhile
The HAMVEE army jeep parachuted directly to a farm near Cameron in North Carolina. During the tests of the landing system, the car was dropped from the military transport C-17 before the aircraft entered the landing zone. No harm done.
