COPENHAGEN -- COPENHAGEN -- The U.S. Navy destroyer Conyngham docked in a Danish port after police towed away a Greenpeace ship that had blocked the harbor entrance in an antinuclear protest.

Police arrested 14 members of the environmental organization after some protesters tried to climb the cables of the Conyngham and four others jumped into the water to stop the warship from docking in Aalborg. The activists were demanding guarantees from the destroyer's captain that the warship did not carry nuclear arms.
