Impressive for sure. Now Kimmy Boy has to deal this. Should have kept his fat yapper shut.

Looks like a sharp left turn. That baby is moving.

In a documentary I once saw on aircraft carrier building, they showed one of the initial tests they do after launching a new ship. They basically turn the rudder as far as it will go and apply full power, to make sure the ship handles it in some sensible way.

I’m not a seaman. But I have read some stuff on Sea Trials and commissioning. They test everything, Full speed “hard to port” and Full speed “Hard to Starboard” is part of the process. And full speed for those big ships is quite stunning. Look it up on You tube. It’s pretty impressive.

“Sea trials”
Not necessarily. We did these WAY after sea trials.

Looks like a rudder test.

That is amazing considering the size and mass of that ship.
The guys at the stern in the pic must be loving that ride.

It is exercising high speed turns. When I was on the JFK, after it came out of the yards from repairs following the Belknap collision, they did one of those maneuvers. You get time to prepare for it, they don’t just spring it on you.
Well, I was doing mess duty in the Chief’s Mess (a good place to do it if ya gotta do it!) and they commenced one of the turns.
We fouled up, and didn’t properly secure one of those metal cabinets on wheels that has all the plates in it on some kind of spring mechanism the pushes a new plate to the top when one is taken off. When the ship took that heel, that thing went flying across the empty Chief’s mess and slammed into a bulkhead...there were broken plate fragments everywhere.
It was incredible. Nobody got chewed out for it, amazingly enough, but...that thing would have killed someone if it had hit them.
The other thing that stuck out for me was when they did the “Circle William” drills where they seal off all the compartments and cut off the ventilation (which you would do in the case of an NBC attack, Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) I remember it was off for a long time, it got pretty hot, sticky, and stuffy, and when they turned everything back on, it definitely was an honest to goodness breath of fresh air!

I do that with my 1965 Sears runabout at 22 knots and it’s plenty exciting.
