When is the first one hitting the water?

Sometime this fall, I believe.

thats why its a shakedown cruise.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I'm sure that Dreadnaught had a lot of teething problems that we never hear of today. 
And it's not surprising that the Navy would want to use this ship as a test bed for a newer, hopefully better, engineering plant.  So far no one has discussed safety issues and that's hopeful.
The Navy developed the 1200psi engineering plant to give ships the ability to respond to kamikazes with lots of power and maneuverability.
It was good at that, but the higher temperatures and much greater steam pressure caused a lot of casualties.
When a steam line burst spilling superheated-supersaturated steam into a space, you only had seconds to evacuate.  Horrible way to die.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

So...the engineer's last name is not Scott then?  :P
