enrique262:On 8 January 2005, USS San Francisco collided with an uncharted undersea mountain while operating at maximum speed, leaving one dead, Machinist’s Mate Second Class Joseph Allen Ashley, and 99 injured.The US Navy found Commander Kevin Mooney, the ship’s captain, responsible for the accident, relieving him of his command but without charging him with any crime nor court-martialing him, another six crew members were also reprimanded.The accident completely destroyed her forward bow section, including the sonar, which had to be replaced by another section from the recently decommissioned USS Honolulu, costing 79 million dollars; however, her pressure hull nor nuclear reactor were compromised. “Why did you leave your last job”“I hit a mountain” -- source link
