The Navy Closure Task Force – Red Hill began cleaning out sludge from fuel tanks seven and eight last week, the service announced Thursday.

Cleaning out sludge from the tanks at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility is one of the steps required before the Navy can completely close down the facility, using a closure-in-place plan that would allow the facility to be used in the future as storage for something besides fuel, USNI News has previously reported.

      Amphibious Ship Suffers Breakdown, Marking at Least Third Navy Mechanical Issue This Year

      One of the Navy's amphibious warships suffered a major mechanical failure earlier this week that forced it to return to port -- at least the third such incident this year. Lt. Cmdr. David Carter, a spokesman for Naval Surface Force Atlantic, confirmed that the USS Iwo Jima suffered "a non-propulsion-related materiel casualty in the engineering department" that forced the ship to return to Naval Station Norfolk on Thursday. That description could cover everything from a problem with the ship's hydraulics to power generators to potable water equipment.
