Ha ha , well , we don't expect major hull failures .
They pick one ship from each class to do it to and we were it .

Yes , we are fully crewed and both reactor plants are up , but we are at a dead stop . Ships company , no airwing .
I was down in 2 plant for shocks 2-4 . It was 4 detonations of equal magnitude but they move it closer to the ship each time .
You really couldn't even feel the first one .
Everything broke that was going to break on the 3rd one .
We only had a couple of welds pop loose on some steam drains .
It was quite unsettling watching the main steam piping moving around though . You then realize why all those pipes are hanging from spring assemblies , since they never move at all under normal circumstances .

I had a good friend in Ordnance and he said on the 3rd shock all kinds of crap like lights was falling off the island ,
He's somewhere behind that line of deck equipment in this photo , hard to see but they have a line of plane tractors in front of them :

What looks like a torpedo trail is the control line from the Apache snapping up in the water .
