I was on Sara in Operations/OP division as the CVIC Photo Lab Work Center Supervisor during the hurricane incident mentioned. Due to the strength of the wind from the south, the ship was pushed against the pier and unable to be pulled away by tugs. There was concern that the lines to the tugs may snap and injure personnel. We were secured from underway stations and everyone except the duty section went home for the night. We got underway the next day. I have never heard anything about "sinking" the ship. I expect that such an event would have been talked about, especially in OPs.Billyfotodog (talk) 03:08, 31 May 2009 (UTC)Wild Bill
