Somewhat odd to see this being referred to as the "final sea trial", as opposed to a second, unscheduled one, that it is. If the earlier trial had gone smoothly, the platform would have been inducted into the Navy by now, negating the need for this one. What if....? Wouldn't that possibly warrant another trial? So what is "final" about this trial? Unless, of course, the contract signed had provisions for only up to two sea trials.
Godspeed
