:eek:

Looks like the Navy just can't catch a break at the Canal:eek:!!

Huh, I wonder if it's in a visible location. My wife and I are cruising Panama Canal on Christmas day and that would be a cool sight to see.

She probably won't be there by the time you are there, at least I'm sure they hope it won't be there when you transit;)! After the failure the ship was towed to the Rodman piers, the former U.S. Navy base on the Pacific side. On Nov. 22 they estimated the repairs would take about 10 days.
