HONOLULU — The USS Port Royal discharged about 5,000 gallons of raw sewage when the warship was grounded a half-mile off Oahu, the state said Tuesday while warning the public to avoid the area.
The guided missile cruiser became stuck on a shoal late Thursday and was pulled free Monday. The state Department of Health said the Navy failed to tell it about the discharge. A U.S. Pacific Fleet spokesman acknowledged the communication failure.
