Wow, now *that's* a knockdown story. Where was the water coming in, was
the boat OK structurally after that?

The Navy ship I was on went through one of those "V-shaped depressions"
in the North Sea and conditions got bad. The ship suffered a good bit of
damage, including having 2" welded stanchions ripped out of the deck.
