How many careers have been curtailed because of this grounding?
Just the captain?
Maybe sonar operator?

Latest Try to Free Ship Grounded at Hawaii Fails

Navy fails in latest attempt to free warship that ran aground off Honolulu coast
By HERBERT A. SAMPLE Associated Press Writer
HONOLULU February 8, 2009 (AP)
The Associated Press


The Navy says its third attempt to free a $1 billion warship that ran
aground off the coast of Hawaii has failed.

Tugboats and a salvage ship tried unsuccessfully for four hours early
Sunday to pull the USS Port Royal off a rock and sand shoal. The guided
missile cruiser ran aground Thursday about a half-mile south of the Honolulu airport.

Pacific Fleet spokeswoman Agnes Tauyan says the Navy is reassessing its options.

The Navy had removed fuel, water and some personnel from the
9,600-ton vessel on Saturday in an effort to lighten it.
