US Navy ready to help free cargo ship blocking Suez Canal

The US Navy is prepared to do whatever it can to help float this boat.

The Navy could be called in to free the grounded container ship that has blocked the Suez Canal and interrupted global trade since Tuesday.  

A US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the Navy was prepared to send a team of dredging experts to the canal, but was awaiting approval from local authorities, Reuters reported this morning.

If the US Navy tries to do this, they had better succeed.
