shinRaiden 0 Posted January 28, 2005 Wow, that really got trashed. Reports were saying that the they intially extracted the fatally injured crewman from the forward area, and tried to pass him through the hatch on a backboard. Apparently they had some major problems navigating him through the passage, and were unable to get him through to a helicopter before he died. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ralphwiggum 6 Posted February 12, 2005 http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/02/11/sub.commander/index.html Quote[/b] ]WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The captain of a U.S. submarine that hit an undersea mountain last month in the western Pacific, killing one sailor and injuring 23 others, will be relieved of command, Pentagon officials said Friday.Navy Cmdr. Kevin Mooney will not be charged with any crime and will not be court-martialed. He received a nonjudicial punishment, most likely in the form of a letter of reprimand from his commander, this week, officials said. Such punishment typically ends an officer's career. Mooney was reassigned pending an investigation after the severely damaged the USS San Francisco returned to its home port in Guam. Details of the investigation were not available. Machinist's Mate 2nd Class Joseph Allen Ashley, 24, of Akron, Ohio, died of injuries suffered in the accident, which occurred when the attack submarine was en route to Brisbane, Australia. The nuclear-powered submarine's bow was severely damaged when the submarine struck an undersea mountain 350 miles south of Guam on January 8 while traveling at a high rate of speed. In late January, a Navy official said it appeared the mountain was not on the navigation charts the crew was using. Although the outer hull was ripped open, the inner hull was not compromised, and water did not get into the working and living quarters. The USS San Francisco carried a crew of 137.
