I thought you dogged the door ....
The sea don't play.
Yep, that door was driven right through the frame and into the gear locker.

I was on the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON in 1994 when a rogue wave ripped the door to the quarterdeck off and tossed it into the quarterdeck. Very impressive, given that the quarterdeck is 30 feet above the waterline.

I was on the USS GEORGE WASHINGON (CVN-73) in 1994 when a rogue wave ripped the quarterdeck hatch off and tossed it onto the quarterdeck. Pretty impressive when you figure that particular hatch is 30 feet above the waterline.
God. Damn.
I was on a figlet in ... 2001? 2002? Winter, at any rate. Left NAVSTA Newport to play in the North Atlantic for a few days before going back to Mayport. Ran up about 2 million in damages from the storm. Ripped ladders off the superstructure, sprang leaks all over. Loads of fun, that was.
Phib, what ship is this door on? I know it's not a FFG, it's not a CG and it's not a DDG. Amphib? CV(N)?
The Coral Sea lost her port elevator in a typhoon in 1963.
But, of course, they didn't have TSCE in those days.
I'm sorry, but I have to aske...
Whats with all the running rust I see in nearly every pic of a USN ship these days?
And these vessels are supposed to last exactly how long?
Its on the 01 level of whatever ship its on.
Global Warming.
Thats why the northeast is paralysed today.
Minimal manning brother. You do not need a rogue wave to get you butt spanked by Ma Nature. South China Sea between a cold surge and a tropical storm will put a hurting on ya
Ouch!
Tell me that running rust wasn't there before King Neptune decided to blow the hatch? Any clue which ship?
Reminds me a of early 90's cruise heading from Singapore to Hong Kong. Seas so rough that we watched Fife's bow dome go airborne. Loving it on the bridge of the FFG and laughing all the way because we actually rode better, but then discovered superstructure cracks once inport...damn cheap aluminum! Not so good. And then came INSURV... at least SRF Yoko could fix things right.
Yeah, but frame 109 doesn't work for a port side WTD on any of the ships I mentioned.
Not the aluminums fault... Bath Iron was the design and planning yard for Perry. They told NAVSEA of a potential for fractures in the midbody unless an expansion joint was installed along with thicker longitudinal hull stiffening. Got that from a BIW design guy that was there when it happened. FFGs have been cracking ever since. "Poor welding" has been the excuse for the past 10 years.
That rust suggests steel right?
What ships have a steel 01 level?
Can't wait to see what kind of shape LCS-1 -and 2 for that matter- will be in after a few years...
But they have TSCE!
Anyway, Mother Ocean can get right nasty when perturbed.
Check out this l'il bomb puppy making its way out to wreak havoc across the Atlantic today.
I've got a beer that says LPD-17 class -- what else would have unpainted copper piping run on the exterior with some kind of insulation slapped on top?
I seem to remember an east coast LST losing a bow door in a storm back in the 80s...
Byron, that is the door to the deck light stowage locker on the forward deckhouse of a FLT II DDG. It is right next to the platform on the port side.
(Bangs head on desk) Under the CIWS mount, forgot about that. Thanks, Mike!
Passive Counter-Measure System tile, Ken.
Does Poor wielding explain this.

The Tico's are apparently failing at the source of Oh look its those aluminum superstructures again.
That had the bottom drop out of it. I would hate to be out any where near that
It caused the worst disruption to air travel since 9/11...
Wouldn't surprise me to hear about a ship or two in trouble over the next 2-3 days.
Wonder when the usual chorus will start about how, "IT WASN'T FORECAST!" ( accompanied with gnashing of teeth)
Even in My day (Late 60's) a DLG/DDG Had aluminum superstrctures in many places.
BUT... even us geezers called those holes in the outer walls hatches. I do think their were some doors in officer country.
Since most the the fractures occur in the 0-2 to 0-4 deck and right around fram 230, (a Tico is around 560 long...) you tell me what you think it is...
You fall down a hatch and through a door. That one is an Individually Dogged Watertight Door vice a Quick Acting Watertight Door
That is not a SAN ANTONIO Class. The bulkhead is not angled for reduced RCS, and I can't remember a single individually dogged door going topside to a weather deck. Maybe it's the camera settings. But, that paint looks too blue to be haze grey.
You know you are an old salt when you see that sort of thing and say to yourself...routine corrective maintenence, where's the 1250 for the new door? Ho hum, another day, what's for lunch today?
You have made some гeally goοԁ points theгe.
I checκed on the nеt to find οut moгe about the issue and
found mоѕt people wіll go alоng with yοur viеωs on this site.
