Damage to the stern of the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt,

above, in a collision with the cruiser Leyte Gulf last week off the

North Carolina coast will run from $7 million to $10 million, Navy

officials estimate. The carrier, right, is maneuvered into position

as it returned Friday to its berth at Norfolk Naval Base. by CNB
