Damaged LCS arrived in home port
The damaged USS "Montgomery" arrived at its home port of San Diego on Nov 8, 2016. In service less the two months, the vessel struck a concrete structure last weekend as it passed through the Panama Canal and suffered an 18-inch-long gash about 8-10 feet above the water line. The "Montgomery" had conducted crew training and systems checks in voyages to Florida, Cuba and other locations before transiting the canal. During that time, the trimaran suffered a seawater leak in its hydraulic cooling system, a breakdown in a gas turbine engine and was hit hard by a tug when leaving Mayport, Florida, to get out of the path of Hurricane Matthew.
