USS Port Royal Hard Aground - Updated

From the Honolulu Advertiser:

The USS Port Royal, a Pearl Harbor-based guided missile cruiser, remained aground today approximately a half-mile south of the airport's Reef Runway.

The Navy said the ship ran aground about 9 p.m. last night.

The Navy said the ship is stuck in sand and there are no oil or fuel leaks.

Navy tugs tried early in the morning to nudge the 9,600-ton warship away from the spot it hit but were unsuccessful.

The Navy says divers from Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit One from Pearl Harbor and the salvage ship USS Salvor will try to tow the warship.

Normally I wouldn't bother posting about a grounding here, but PORT ROYAL is one of just three BMD cruisers in the fleet and she looks to be well in the shoal water on Runway Reef and parallel to the beach, to boot. The Advertiser's picture is here.

Judging by the pictures, I'd say she's 500-1,000 tons aground. Not good.

There's a lot of good Sailors on that ship, so be judicious with your discussion. I'm going to refrain from further speculation and comments other than to remind myself, there, but for the grace of God, go I.

Update: Galrahn here, Yankee Sailor updates with an estimate in the comments of around 5000 tons aground. This is going to be a difficult salvage job if the wave action is still driving the ship the sand. Since everything regarding the actions of the ship itself is absent any good information, I'd prefer to keep the comments focused on the salvage operation to lift the ship.

All informed comments and questions welcome.
