An investigation remains ongoing into how the guided-missile destroyer Stockdale damaged its sonar dome on Jan. 21 while the ship was underway, Navy officials said.

No sailors were injured in the “Class A” mishap, which entails damages exceeding $2.5 million


The ship remains in port in Sasebo, Japan, “while the repair plan is being finalized,” Naval Surface Forces spokesman Cmdr. Nicole Schwegman said.

“An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the damage,” Schwegman said.

First it was a submarine, now a destroyer.  Wait until a carrier goes muddy bottom.

It must be a carefully planned bit of disinformation to make the Ruskies believe our Navy is incompetent - or so I hope.
