Here is an update:

Philippine officials said that the country would seek compensation for reef damage. Harry K. Thomas Jr., the U.S. ambassador to the Philippines, has assured Filipinos that the United States "will provide appropriate compensation for damage to the reef caused by the ship."

I hope they disclose what the "appropriate compensation" is. This figure would be beneficial for artificial reef makers and would give ocean conservationists some figures to work with. How much is our ocean worth to the U.S. Navy?
