Does anyone remember when the Shaft alley flooded while we were at sea and we had to change all the oil in the thrust bearing after the water was pumped out?

if your talking about the shaft ally under the brig i remember it.us guys in the aft d.c. shop had to pump it out.what a mess.

I do believe that was it this would have happened in 1962 we were at sea and everytime the shaft made a turn water came in... we had to stand a watch down there until we could get it repaired.
