PHILIPPINES-US-MILITARY-ENVIRONMENT-FILES
(FILES)This undated handout photo released on March 30, 2013 by Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) shows a general view of the stern of the USS Guardian before being lifted by a boat crane during its salvage operation at Tubbataha reef, in Palawan island, western Philippines. A US warship that ran aground on a protected coral reef in the Philippines was doomed by its top officers' "lack of leadership", the US Navy has concluded in a report released June 21, 2013. The minesweeper USS Guardian became stranded on top of the Tubbataha Reef in the southern Philippines before dawn on January 17 and had to be cut to pieces in a salvage operation that took 10 weeks to complete. Admiral Cecil Haney, commander of the US 7th Fleet, said its officers and watch teams used an "inaccurate" coastal chart for navigation even though more accurate ones were readily available.
