U.S. MARINE CORPS / STAFF SGT. KYLE C. TALBOT
The Marine Corps has suspended waterborne operations for all their new amphibious combat vehicles, after Marines found a problem with the vehicle’s sea tow quick release mechanism.
The suspension was made “out of an abundance of caution,” and the service is trying to find and fix the cause of the problem with the mechanism, Marine Corps spokesman Maj. Jim Stenger said in a statement Friday.
