USS Nimitz
The US Navy and the Marine Corps have a serious water contamination problem. Last December we posted that on the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, over 1,000 military families were forced from their homes and suffered illness by drinking water apparently contaminated by petroleum from Red Hill, a leaking, World War II era, underground fuel storage facility on the base in Oahu, Hawaii.
Recently, the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz was docked at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego due to contamination of the aircraft carrier’s drinking water by jet fuel. The Navy says that at least 5 sailors were sickened after jet fuel leaked into USS Nimitz‘s drinking water.
Likewise, the Navy is investigating what caused the drinking water aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to become rank and cloudy last month. It is at least the second instance of fouled drinking water on a U.S. carrier in recent weeks.

What had killed the sharks was unclear, although scientists suspected orcas, also known as killer whales, which had been observed in the area.
