Navy ship aground off Virginia after returning to port
The USS Detroit, a Navy combat support ship, ran aground about 30 miles east of Old Point Comfort near Hampton Roads early today while returning from routine operations at sea. No injuries or flooding were reported, but high tides failed to free the vessel and crews worked with four Navy and four commercial tugs to refloat it.
