Gang Members Take to the Sea

By Janice Castro

The U.S. Navy prides itself on its fighting spirit, but down in San Diego they've got a little too much. Some sailors have apparently been joining Southern California gangs, prompting Admiral Robert Kelly to order an investigation. Crews from rival warships have brawled. In August a sailor was wounded in a drive-by shooting at an enlisted men's club. The Navy has asked San Diego police for help in identifying gang members.
