They probably have a medivac in progress, or its already done, but I would imagine a lot of people got banged up pretty good in a collision like that.

You cant medivac too many people, or you wont get it back to port. I'll bet the most serious are being sent for help and others are bandaged up and still working, unless Guam is sending 688 qualified personnel to assist by helo transfer.

This is a major casualty in progress. They have to keep up a sustained fight to get the ship back in port.

This is what they train for. I wish them the best and know that they are the best. Husband has scars from hitting things that don't move also.

You can operate that ship with 24 or so watchstanders.
