Amphibious ship suffered rudder damage
The USS 'Boxer (LHD-4)' has returned to San Diego, California, on April 11, 2024, after suffering an engineering casualty, forcing the amphibious warship to return for repairs. The USS 'Boxer' and elements of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit left on April 1 for a Pacific deployment that had been on hold due in part to maintenance issues on the big deck. Following the departure, the 'Boxer' operated off the coast of California recertifying Marines with MV-22B Ospreys after a grounding that was lifted last month. Navy officials did not detail the casualty, but it was thought that the casualty was related to the ship’s rudder. The repairs could take two to three weeks based on the early damage estimates. Marines and aircraft from the 15th MEU were offloaded from the 'Boxer' prior to its return.
