not much stress on the engine mounts, red gear and struts got a little.

Thank God for Coast Guard engineering and a budget big enough to build it right. However I would like to read what the damage report said.

Can you imagine the stresses put upon the engine mounts and the shaft alleys? Even these boats are not designed for a vertical launch like this. They are designed for a rollover and all the crew is topside, strapped in while wearing exposure suits.

A great job of photography and just think this crew will be right back out the next shift.

I'm guessing that every sailors pants needed washed out too. Especially the poor machinist's mate down below. At least once they picked him out of the aft bilge!
