HAGATNA, Guam, Sept 25 (Reuters) - A U.S. navy MH60 helicopter crashed into a lake on the Pacific island of Guam, killing one crew member, the military said on Tuesday. The incident happened during a training exercise on Monday and the navy is investigating the cause of the crash. Three surviving crew members were being treated in hospital for minor injuries. One sustained a broken arm. Guam, a U.S. territory, has had a U.S. military presence to varying degrees since 1898 when the navy captured it from Spain. The United States plans to move 8,000 Marines from the southern Japanese island of Okinawa to Guam by 2014 as part of a global realignment of U.S. forces.
