HONOLULU -- The Ehime Maru is now three quarters of the way to where it will be set down near the Honolulu airport's reef runway.
Navy crews towed the ship more than 12 miles since Friday morning.
There's only two miles left for it to go before the Ehime Maru reaches the shallow water sight where divers can begin salvage operations.
