| WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Navy said the tank-landing ship
USS La Moure County ran aground off the coast of Chile early
Tuesday during training exercises with the Chilean navy. The
ship, LST-1194, was preparing for an amphibious landing when it
hit bottom some 100 miles south of the Chilean city of
Antofagasta.
There were no injuries among the ship's 257 crew members and
13 officers, but there was minor flooding in the ship's berthing
areas.
The Navy is still assessing the damage. |
