Another pic that begs for a caption:
It’s the Truman (CVN-75) conducting a rudder check during high-speed turns. I’m thinking the rudders are working just fine if they’re still attached! If you listen very carefully you can hear “Wipeout” playing in the background. Keep in mind a CVN draws over 30′ below the waterline – this is not a Nautique in a skid, she’s pushing serious water.
See if you can spot the wakesurfer.

This is what happens if you ignore a wave-off from the LSO.
