Talk about a great example of Obama administration policies: Destroy a perfectly fine, $250 million dollar US Navy vessel to save a foreign coral reef.

I remember a TV documentary years ago about Filipino fishermen using dynamite in the coral reefs for big fish hauls.

Bingo. Imagine the failures we’d have in war due to ‘Mother Earth’ concerns under 0bama. We’ll all be dead but at least the fish will be happy.

Actually the ship is probably beyond saving. She was wooden hulled and early reports were that her keel was broken in the initial grounding. Now she’s been beating on the reef for weeks. Not much hope of refloating it, I think.

And a misplaced reef at that.

She is a total loss. The Navy even saved dry food stores from her.

Destroy a perfectly fine, $250 million dollar US Navy vessel to save a foreign coral reef.

It was destroyed by hitting the reef and then being pounded by heavy seas, long before they began cutting it up. It has a wooden hull.

The assertion that it could have just been pulled off the reef and been "perfectly fine" if it wasn't for concern for damaging the reef is false.

Will the 0 administration promote the skipper?
