US Sailor Dies From Injuries In Sub Grounding Incident
A sailor has died after a US nuclear submarine ran aground south of the Pacific island of Guam, injuring several sailors on board. The accident occurred on Saturday, near the submarine's home port of Guam, one of the most important US Pacific bases. The US Navy said the nuclear reactor on the USS San Francisco was not damaged during the accident. But 23 other crew members are being treated aboard for injuries including broken bones, bruises and lacerations. A spokesman for the Pacific Fleet said the name of the sailor was being withheld for 24 hours after next of kin had been informed. ...Obviously, this was not just a little jolt.
