It was a sight to see for many Friday, as a navy vessel sat idle on the reef south of Oahu.
The USS Port Royal ran aground last night during sea trials.

A handful of people came to Lagoon Drive to get a closer look. Monique Escoto, a wife of a Navy diver wanted to see for herself. "He's been out there since about 8 o'clock this morning said he'll probably be out there all night," Escoto said.

Navy officials say the vessel ran aground about a half mile south of the Airport's Reef Runway.
Officials say the crew was conducting a normal procedure transferring passengers from the vessel to a smaller ship.
They also say the vessel had recently been dry-docked for repairs.

Navy Captain Gureck says, "The ship had completely her regular scheduled maintenance sea trials is what you do to take the ship out to make sure everything was fixed properly."
