Two people were taken to the hospital after an explosion aboard a docked U.S. Navy vessel in Washington state Saturday.
The incident occurred on the Navy's USS Louisiana ballistic-missile submarine while it was stationed at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard near Seattle, and saw two people taken to the hospital for non life-threatening injuries.
Military authorities said the explosion was the result of rapid depressurization in one of the ship's cabins during a 'routine' test of the vessel's air system.
