This is a summary of my concerns regarding the wreckage and materials associated with the former US Navy destroyer, ex-USS Killen DD593.

~~~~~~~~~

Too many assumptions have been made in drawing conclusions about too important of an issue that has real implications to human health. This is not presented to say that the Killen is the source of health problems at Vieques, but that it must be considered to have been (and could still be) a possible additional source over time to those other real hazards brought to light regarding spent ammunition and ordnance. My focus is not strictly the present and future, but the period that covers the history of the ship in Puerto Rico.
