Stars and Stripes 9 Dec 2017 By Tyler Hlavac
YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan -- The collision-damaged USS Fitzgerald has finally left Japan for repairs stateside after an earlier attempt was canceled due to a botched loading process.
The guided-missile destroyer departed its Yokosuka homeport Saturday morning on board the heavy lift vessel MV Transshelf, the Navy said. The Fitzgerald is being taken to Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Miss., for repairs and upgrades.
