Navy ordnance team recovers object off Flat Island
A Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal team recovered an item Saturday morning that a swimmer reported might be an unexploded ordnance in Kailua Bay.
A Navy spokeswoman said the item is not an ordnance and there is no hazard to the public.
The Navy crew recovered the oblong object from 12 to 15 feet of water about 50 yards from Flat Island and were taking it back to Pearl Harbor for disposal.
A swimmer found the object Friday afternoon at about 2 p.m. It appeared to have been there for about 20 years.
