I thought those things could take a hit better than that. How did it not sink with all that hull just missing? :jawdrop:
The LA class has a sonar dome in the bow which is outside the pressure hull. Looks like it hit the dome which acted like a shock absorber which must have helped cushion the blow. I dont know if the pressure hull was breached.
Little bit of JB weld and it will be under water again
It must not be a good feeling to in that thing when it hit :yuk:

LOL Hell yeah finish pulling the tarp over the bad spot and seal her up with duct tape. Good to Go.
i wonder if seamen spueeed out the end ?
As Miss HBJ said. Watertight integrity. I was on a dew ships and they ingrain it into you that when you are at sea there are certain hatches(doors) that remain closed. That creates your watertight integrity. You can flood an entire section of the ship and still float. Those specific door maintain that sections watertigh integrity.
Yes I am sure there was a few "reassignments". I think I heard that Captain is now driving a desk while the investigation is going on.
Is there any more info on this some where? I never heard about this fender bender.
