I was on Independence from 95-98 with CVW-5 in Japan. There were a few catwalks I wouldn't jump down into because I thought you'd go straight through, but I don't ever remember dragging a screw. ACLS was down to one channel or no channels, and the bullseye was constantly gooned up, but she always made enough wind. On our way home from our last cruise we were doing 30 knots through the Indian Ocean. quite impressive for such an old lady.
