Great shot of an emergency turn on a nuke carrier. PBS runs the story once
in awhile on the carrier Ike, and part of the commisioning test is an
emergency turn at about 35 knots. The boat must be at a 30 degree angle.

I think it took us well over a mile to turn around...


Just slightly better than my pontoon boat.
