Four Sailors Hurt
A Navy boat was hit by a “sneaker” set of waves off the Silver Strand in Imperial Beach Wednesday, capsizing the vessel and injuring four seamen.
The unidentified seamen, all Navy Seabees, were performing an exercise that involved shifting barge platforms when their boat was struck by waves, a San Diego Harbor Police spokesman said.
The four were brought ashore by a Coast Guard rescue team and taken to Balboa Naval Hospital.
