The damaged carrier Yorktown had to be repaired in a mere three days, to be used along with the Enterprise and Hornet, all that was left in the way of aircraft carriers after the bombing at Pearl Harbor.

Fortunately they didn't have to file environmental impact reports and ensure that the repair crews had the correct racial balance.

I thought you were going to say that Greenpeace would have sought an injuction against allowing Yorktown into the harbor on account of her training an oil slick!
