More on Port Royal Damage

AP report on Port Royal damage.

The U.S. Pacific Fleet on Friday said propeller blades, the sonar dome and underwater hull were among the damaged parts of the guided-missile cruiser USS Port Royal.

It says the ship sustained between $25 million to $40 million in damages when the warship ran aground on a coral reef for three days.

Navy officials dispute a report Monday by The Navy Times that a Navy preliminary assessment cited the ship's damaged ballistic missile defense capabilities.

Expensive.
