US officials meet with Japan to decide penal ties for Greenville crew

US Navy officers met today with local Japanese Government officials to explain possible disciplinary action facing the skipper of a submarine that sank a Japanese high school fishing training vessel.

Nine aboard the ship, including four students, died as a result of the February 9 collision when the USS Greeneville hit and sank the Ehime Maru nine miles off the coast of the island of Oahu in Hawaii.
