Norfolk-based destroyer runs aground in Black Sea
11:47 AM EDT on Friday, October 24, 2008
NORFOLK (AP) -- The Navy says the Norfolk-based destroyer Barry is being inspected for damage after it ran aground in the Black Sea.
Officials say the ship ran aground Thursday as it was preparing to dock at a port in Turkey. Tugs were able to free the ship with assistance from Turkish coast guard divers and is moored at the Samsun pier.
The Navy expects the ship to be able to continue its trip. An investigation into the incident also is planned.
The Barry left Norfolk in August to join a standing naval maritime group overseas to assist NATO, participate in training exercises with allies and make diplomatic port calls.
