Derek Powles (right) assists Petty Officer 1st Class Josh Miller (center) and Ensign Travis Lewis, both with the Navy’s Surge Maintenance program, during a flooding simulation in which water hypothetically breaches the hull after a torpedo strike during the Aug. 24 Repair Technology Exercise, or REPTX, aboard the Self Defense Test Ship at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD). The three use whatever is handy — including wood beams, a bunk mattress, metal trash can, rubber mats and more — to cover the simulated “holes” in the hull

The three use whatever is handy — including wood beams, a bunk mattress, metal trash can, rubber mats and more — to cover the simulated “holes” in the hull during the flood scenario, bracing them with high-power magnets and straps. The test ship is an asset of NSWC PHD.
