(Below:) YN1 Hare, manning the main con- trol board in the bridge. (Far Below:) Ready with the hoses. When G.Q. is first sounded, hearts beat faster, andrenalin flows, and bodies race about. The ships ' existence depends on quick, smart and safe judgement within seconds of that calling. And, because of the ships ' demanded qualities, we have to drill over and over constantly, to get it right, every time. When Condition Zebra is set, hatches slam down, dogs (bolls) are dogged , (bolted) and the ship is made water tight through and through, so as to control flooding, in case the ship has been da- maged in any way. Hit Alpha Is just like it says, to inform everyone that a collision is certain, and to be ready for it, to lessen the damage to personnel aboard. These drills can go on for hours, and with ventilation shut off, and the ship water tight, the crew can sweat it out, literally. But with all these drills the captain can be reassured that his crew will be ready if the real thing ever comes his way. HIT ALPHA, HIT ALPHA, ALL HANDS BRACE FOR COLLISION!! 21
