It's kind of crazy to sit down at your computer and bring up the news, finding a story about your husband's deployed ship right there on the front page! I figured that if they can publish this on the national news, then I can publish it here on the blog.
I have a brand new newsletter from the San Antonio to put out on Monday, so stay tuned.
Navy ship San Antonio undergoing repairs
By the Associated Press
November 7, 2008
NORFOLK, Va. - The Navy amphibious ship San Antonio is undergoing repairs after it sprung oil leaks in its lubrication system during its first deployment.
Officials say the transport dock ship is in a Bahrain shipyard and will be sidelined for at least two weeks while engineers and workers assess and fix the problems.
A team of about 30 civilian and military personnel from Norfolk Naval Shipyard have flown to Bahrain to conduct tests and repair.
The San Antonio left Norfolk for the Middle East on its first deployment in August with the Iwo Jima Expeditionary Strike Group.
