Surprise surprise...
On 7 August 2008, the US informed MINDEF that the USS Houston had been leaking trace amounts of radioactive water since June 2006. This suggested that the USS Houston could have been leaking during her port call at Changi Naval Base in September 2006.
With the assurances from the US, verification from the data collected from our monitoring system and our own experts' assessments, I am confident that there was no adverse impact on public health, marine life or the environment as a result of the USS Houston's port call in Singapore in September 2006, and that the safety of Singaporeans was not compromised by the reported leak.
To read the press release:

It could have been worse... LOL... I was there when USS Houston called on Singapore.
On the side note,
Kenneth has been OWNED by physics for the FIRST TIME!
