Didn't the Missouri or some carrier run aground in San Francisco Bay back in the 1980's? I recall the Captain was exonerated because the channel was charted and certified safe by the Navy for navigation by a ship with the noted draft. I would hope the same thing happens here, but the Navy being what it is, it'll all depend on the politics of the courts martial whether or not the skipper of the Barry gets promoted to permanent shore duty.

It was USS Enterprise, coming home after an 8 month deployment with all the families waiting on the pier.
IIRC in that case it was determined that heavier than normal rains the previous winter had contributed to abnormal silting in the channel.

It was the Enterprise. Not sure about the fate of the Captain.
