When the Gould came in for calibration of our CDT and Gould night we also did an oil spills excercise. The ship had according to the scenario got a hole in the port side tank and was leaking fuel out. So the people on base that had been trained in oil spill response went to work. We slipped launched the boat in North Cove and came around to assist in putting the boom around the stern of the boat.

The fast tank was assembled and the skimmers by the guys on land and we then pretended to skim the fuel off the surface into the tank.
