剛完成交付的比靈斯號(LCS-15,USS Billings)瀕海作戰艦，在加拿大蒙特婁的港口內與另一艘散裝貨船蘿絲-迪斯甘斯(Rosaire Desgagnes )發生擦裝，軍艦的右側明顯的受損，美國海軍正在評估損失的情況，並調查事故發生的原因。
The Drive報導，比靈斯號屬於自由級(Freedom class)，美國海軍才在最近剛剛接收，母港設在佛羅里達梅波特海軍基地(Naval Station Mayport)，原預計在7月1日舉行成軍典禮，結果卻遇上撞船的事故。海軍陸戰隊發言人告訴海事執行委員會說，比靈斯號的右舷已經損壞，還在進行全面的損壞評估。所幸，碰撞並未造成兩艘船上的人員受傷，不過目前還沒有關蘿絲-迪斯甘斯號的損害情況消息。
比靈斯號始建於2014年，在威斯康辛州的芬坎蒂尼-馬里蘭特海洋造船廠(Fincantieri Marinette Marine)造船廠，2017年下水，2019年2月於正式交付海軍。洛克希德·馬丁公司是自由級的的主要承包商，但義大利造船廠芬坎蒂尼海洋集團是分包商，負責建造的是芬坎蒂尼的美國子公司。
這艘新的自由級是在密西根湖裡建造的，因此交付出後必須駛過五大湖與聖船於6月初離開造船廠前往梅波特。交付後，新的自由級LCS必須駛過五大湖和聖羅倫斯海道，才能進入大西洋。然而五大湖在冬天常遇冰封，航行時間只有在夏季，因此新的自由級在出廠後，會在蒙特婁待一段時間。
比靈斯號的事故不會影響瀕海作戰艦的前途，因為美國海軍已經對所有的瀕海作戰艦失去信心，不管是自由級或是獨立級，都暴露瀕海作戰艦，作戰能力有限的問題，因此他們已經不喜歡這型軍艦了，促使美國海軍在2017年啟動了新的巡防艦計劃(FFG-X)，他們將在今年選出一種成功的設計。

這篇報導說 USS Billings 自身並無動力
有可能 是被拖泊船 拖去撞牆

BILLINGS- An investigation is underway into what led to a collision between the future USS Billings and another ship at a pier site in Montreal.
The USS Billings, a littoral combat ship, was delivered to the Navy in February.
The collision took place Friday, according to Navy officials.
The USS Billings is currently undergoing repairs, according to Navy officials, but questions remain as to whether this could impact the Aug. 3 commissioning date, although Navy officials said the commissioning likely wouldn’t be impacted.
Video taken from an anonymous witness at the Montreal pier shows the USS Billings being towed out of a slip with the assistance of two tug boats.
That’s when witnesses said the starboard side of the warship made contact with the port side of a carrier called the Rosaire Desgagnes, that was stationed at the pier.
Witnesses reported that the USS Billings somehow lost control after the lines were let go and it hit the other vessel behind it.
Now the Navy is conducting an investigating into what happened.
Officials reported minor damage to the starboard bridge wing but a full assessment of the damage is ongoing.
For now, the USS Billings will be temporarily docked in Montreal.
The future USS Billings is planning to call the Mayport U.S Naval base home in August.
The ship was expected to reach Florida in July and commissioned in August.
Billings Mayor Bill Cole, who has championed the city’s effort to support the Aug. 3 commissioning, said he understood the collision wasn’t serious.
“My understanding is damage is cosmetic. No structural damage,” Cole said. “Commissioning would go on as normal.”
