Those carriers under repair are gonna take a beating, especially if the storm surge pulls all the water out of the harbor. I was on the Indepencence CV-62 (decommed now). I wonder how they will secure them to prevent damage.
hopefully they are in drydock.....what is of worry is submarines in floating drydocks, that's scary...
Lots and lots of yokohamas.
"Hair-on-the-back-of-your-neck-standing-up" Alert:
I, too, live in Louisville. I'm at State EOC in Frankfort on Active Duty. And my watch partner was ALSO on the Indy!
He tells me of how the Indy rounded Cape Horn, and a sponson broke (or some such).
Also, all they'd have to do for a flattop in port would be raise the elevators to deck level, close all ports and hatches, lash her down croos-wise, and ride the beast out.
