Navy denied access to Fox News on Friday

The Navy confirmed that members of the U.S. Navy were denied access to FoxNews.com for hours on Friday before service was finally restored shortly before noon ET.

Cmdr. Danny Hernandez, a Navy spokesman, claimed it was a technical issue rather than a policy issue.

Fox News received e-mails from Navy personnel around the world on Friday complaining that they could not gain access to the Web site. They said they were able to view numerous other news Web sites.

When they tried to access FoxNews.com, the following message appeared: "Access to this site has been denied in accordance with Navy policy to safeguard the security
posture and/or to maintain the operational integrity of the NMCI."

NMCI stands for Navy Marine Corps Internet.
