I remember when the USS Enterprise ran aground in SF Bay. Yes, they actually assembled the entire crew (already in dress blues to "man the rails" for homecoming) on the port side to shift weight (and endure the public embarrassment). I had just joined the Navy...

I remember when that happened. I saw the USS Eisenhower do something similar in Norfolk . Extremely choppy water that day, very windy, oops , was stuck for a few hours, in sight of the pier.

Gad. How many ships have transited that area and not run aground, and you do it in a carrier????
