 Usually, when a major storm heads towards Sasebo, U.S. Navy ships go out to the harbor to get out of the way. But what if your ship is under maintenance? This is an unusual situation for us due to our repair period not being able to get underway. I am confident from the anchor underfoot to the storm line, see fast tugs, the ballast work we've done and everything else that the Bonhommer Shard is ready to handle the storm. USS Bonhommer Shard needed to prepare in a way they haven't before. When the storm passes that we can turn right back to the repair work and be ready to meet our next patrol deadline. The hardest part of the storm is expected to hit in the early morning. We are BHR and in Sasebo we're ready for Typhoon Nagori. Seaman Christina Coffey, Fleet Activities, Sasebo, Japan.
