  • The 2009 USS Port Royal grounding was a ship grounding by the United States Navy guided missile cruiser Port Royal off of Oahu, Hawaii on 5 February 2009. In the incident, the ship ran aground on a coral reef, damaging and necessitating repairs to both the ship and the reef. The incident received wide press coverage in Hawaii, at least in part because of the damage caused to a sensitive coral environment. A US Navy investigation found that the grounding was caused by a combination of a misread navigation system, a sleep-deprived skipper, broken equipment, and an inexperienced and dysfunctional bridge team. The ship's commander, John Carroll, was relieved of duty and disciplined. Three other officers and one enlisted sailor were also disciplined. The US Navy reattached 5,400 coral colonies in an attempt to repair damage to the reef.
