Navy Vessel Involved in Boating Accident

This week in San Diego, a Navy commander said that a U.S. destroyer on a training exercise collided into a civilian boat right off the Southern California Pacific Coast.

Greg Hicks, U.S. Navy Commander, reports that the boating accident resulted in no serious injuries.  However, investigators are still looking into the cause.

Hicks told news sources that the USS Shoup, a guided missile destroyer, had suffered some scrapes.  Despite the accident, both boats are fine and functioning.

USS Shoup is 509 feet long and transports approximately 380 people.  Currently, it is training out at sea with the Abraham Lincoln strike group.  The other vessel involved in the accident is reported as being 21 feet.
