Fairwater - toast. They'll have to build a new one.

Bridge access truck - toast.

ESM Mast - toast.

#1 and #2 Scopes - yeap, toast.

Shnorkle mast - you guessed it, toast.

External hydraulics - toast. Contaminated too I'll bet.

Just write off the entire fairwater, masts and systems.

CO's career - toast.

XO's career - toast.

OOD career - toast.

Navigator - toast.

OPS - toast.

Sonar Sup - toast.

Sonar Chief - toast.

They've gone through so much toast, they ought to rename her USS Wonderbread!

Any more word on the injuries? I see they're reported as minor, which is obviously a godsend.
