Can only imagine gusts of laughter if a Navy captain claimed their vessel "grounded due to strong wind".

To rephrase, assuming winds were as forecast: "vessel grounded to due to inadequate risk assessment of effects of high winds on the handling of the ship in a narrow channel."

Two larger tugs enroute.
They are still blaming wind.
Crew safe and working.
