Let me suggest that the crap dumped into the harbor was not on the navigation charts. The people who dumped it into the bay should pay for the ship’s repair.

It's not been announced how it hit the shoal, which is marked on charts.

Let me suggest the crap WAS on the charts, as is evidenced by this line in the article: " It's not been announced how it hit the shoal, which is marked on charts.

This is in a general anchorage area just outside the entrance to Pearl Harbor. Extremely well marked, but it goes from deep to shallow very fast.

Unknown if they had a harbor pilot on board or they screwed up on their own.

Or the US Navy could train its officers to understand what "green and white water" means
