Yep, Captain of Princeton (LPH-5) ran aground in Okinawa. Had to put into Yokuska dry dock for repairs. One main shaft was bent and there was a six foot hole in the hull. Happened in March, 1960; new Captain on board by May.

Glad to see that the Navy is still using names of old Essex-class carriers. Antietam was CV-34.
