Yep, that looks pretty rough. Clearly they have the emergency pumps working. P250’s or whatever they have been replaced with. It’s been a while since my days in the canoe club. What’s scary is that crunched section of the superstructure is right near where my office was back in the day. Of course I was on a Spruance Class. Not sure where everything is on these new ships.

According to one report, skipper of the Fitzgerald suffered serious injuries, was medevaced off the ship, and and the XO has taken command. At least one other medevac pending, and the search for the seven missing sailors continues.
