MESA VERDE's crew owes beer to SAN ANTONIO

Big time,
2. SENIOR MEMBER COMMENTS:
A. PCU MESA VERDE, THE 3RD HULL IN THE SAN ANTONIO SHIP CLASS, WAS A CLEAN AND READY TO INSPECT SHIP. THE BUILDER ACHIEVED 100 PERCENT SPACE COMPLETION STATUS (943 OF 943 COMPARTMENTS AND 166 OF 166 TANK/VOIDS COMPLETED). PER REF A, THE SHIP MET NEW CONSTRUCTION PRE-REQUISITES TO CONDUCT AN AT. ALL UNDERWAY DEMOS WERE EXECUTED SAFELY. THE STEERING AND QUICK REVERSAL ASTERN TO AHEAD DEMOS WERE DEGRADED DUE TO MATERIAL ISSUES, ALL OF WHICH ARE ADDRESSED IN THE DEMO SECTION OF THIS REPORT. THE FULL POWER RUN WAS TERMINATED TWICE BECAUSE OF CASUALTIES TO NR 1A MPDE (FAILED FUEL OIL PUMP NR 2 CYLINDER AND SUBSEQUENT LOAD SHARING ADJUSTMENTS). REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED, TIMED RESTARTS INITIATED, AND A SUCCESSFUL 4 HOUR FULL POWER RUN WAS OBSERVED BY THE BOARD.
Nothing sweat and money can't buy.
