   1. On March 21, 2005, a US Navy vessel,USS Hue City, approximately 75 miles offshore Mayport, FL,lost 6000 gallons of diesel fuel at position 30-39.5N: 080-01.5W. USCG requested information as to the movement and fate of this oil. NOAA provided a weather forecast, ADIOS oil fate output, and analysis of oil movement. NOAA provided the following trajectory forecast: The oil would likely move to the NW or NNW at about 1/2 knot. A visible sheen would only be discernable for 3 miles maximum. Within 11 hours the oil should brake up, evaporate or naturally disperse. No shoreline impacts should occur from the spill. USCG reported that no visible of sheen was reported or observed following the release of diesel. USCG closed the case without further action.
