Salvage Crew to Free Grounded U.S. Ship

Description:The USS Guardian naval ship ran aground in a protected marine area in the Phillippine's Sulu Sea on January 17 angering environmental groups. Bad weather previously prevented efforts to free the ship - but a salvage team is now preparing to use cranes to lift it from the reef. The team has already removed 15,000 gallons of fuel to prevent spillage and lighten the vessel. (1:27)
