g. DESCRIPTION: Per the reporting party: A rainbow colored oil sheen was discovered from a barge that is attached to the USS Paul Hamilton in the San Diego Bay. The USS Paul Hamilton was conducting defueling operations at the time of discovery. The USS Paul Hamilton then notified the base fuel response team of the release which led to Port Operations to come investigate the vessel for any indication of what caused the release. It is speculated to be a release of natural causes unrelated to the vessel and thus was cleared for continued operation. BOOM's and absorbent pads were applied, but the sheen was out of their reach and the release is deemed unrecoverable and expected to dissipate naturally.
