well at least he ended his climb up the ladder in Hawaii. Uncle Sam really, really, really doesn't like navy stuff worth a BILLION dollars and called "cruisers" trying to roll up a reef using the amphibious route.... otherwise they would be in the army and called a tank.
Poor bastid....

The $1 billion guided missile cruiser USS Port Royal... Sad that they spend $1 Billion on this ship but don't include a $50 GPS unit and a set of charts for the area.

Isn’t this incident one of many?
I recall another similar incident last year, and one more, a year before, both with the USN.
