Eleven sailors aboard the amphibious assault ship Wasp are being discharged from the service for using the synthetic drug Spice. At least two others on the Norfolk-based ship face similar charges, according to a Navy spokesman.

The sailors, who range in rank from seaman to petty officer 2nd class, were not identified by name. They were swept up in an investigation launched in October after a crew member reported finding the banned substance in a work area aboard the ship.

The Navy released details about the investigation Tuesday following inquiries by The Virginian-Pilot. The Wasp returned to Norfolk Naval Station on Monday after assisting with Hurricane Sandy relief efforts in New York and New Jersey.
