Navy Ship runs aground in Hawaii

[Lopaka]

Sorry this screeen capture is a bit big. I gather they were supposed to be in the anchorage area and got in too close. You can see how fast the bottm gets shallow. The numbers are depth in fathoms (6' to a fathom).

I went out there on my way home from Waianae yesterday and took a couple of (bad quality) photos. I'll try to post one tonight when I get home. (Lisa - I may need your help)

Heh, the CO of that ship, the watch crew, and maybe others are in for a rough time.

Ship right out of drydock, and now going back in........$$$ Seems the crew was more than a bit rusty with ship handling and navigation after months in the dock.

At a minimum, the CO's career is over.

Hmmm... I would be carefull around that area. I remember finding a couble of shells around there; and I don't mean the kind with an animal inside.

Does this work?

OK. Not the most elegant of attachment methods, but it works. So open the link and you will see the photo.

You shouldnt be able to see the blue paint by the waterline by the bow

Is the blue line the "oh @$#* I'm screwed" line?

seems like to me, with the world the way it is these days that the navy would nolonger intrust that kind of duty to a non miitary vessel.

Ya, there are a few shells lying around on the Reef Runway.......Fishboy! how ya doin! what I'd give right now just to go dive the Diner.........

That ship should never have been in there, must have lost steerage or power, someone just retired, and someone just promoted.........

Jimbo!!! You have NO idea how much I am wanting to do the Diner... Heck, I'm even up for those crappy dives off Reef Runway.
