Were you the guy who clogged the trash chute in the high-rise barracks?



The Bremerton set a dubious record during that over-haul. We completed an 18 month over-haul in only 49 months. Part of it was due to what you mentioned, there was a fire up forward while they were welding something into place but that happened before I checked on board in 1991.

There were also funding issues (this was the tail end of the cold war and priorities were shifting) coupled with "Let's try something new" syndrome as new equipment was being developed. At the end of it, we wound up with a Flight II boat with no VLS and a bunch of modifications back aft.
