About 7 or 8 years ago one of the US Navy's cruisers fired of several rounds from the Seawiz system in port in Pearl Harbor. None were the depleted uranium fortunatly but they did hit an apartment complex in Pearl City! One of my computer science students had to fly over as part of the investigation team and ultimately the CO, XO abd weapons officer were all fired! The folks in the apartment got a new house I was told!
