"I was shocked to see the Navy did anything. Must have been too much to cover up in case anyone went poking around."
The Navy always "does something" when a vessel is damaged.
My cheif once asked me what was going to happen if the piece of equipment that I had bypassed some overly cautious procedure to repair broke. He was less than pleased with my answer: "The Navy will come up with another ridiculous program to keep it from happening again."
I kinda had a bad attitude that day. ;-)
