ATLANTIC OCEAN (March 8, 2007) -- Waves crash over the bow of the amphibious transport dock ship USS San Antonio (LPD 17) as the ship speeds to the last known location of a missing fishing vessel off the North Carolina coast. The ship braved 14-foot waves during the search for the craft, which reported losing electronic and navigation capabilities. The craft returned to port using a magnetic compass. The USS San Antonio is undergoing an operational evaluation with elements of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Erik N. Hoffman (RELEASED)
