I wouldn`t let a union `trician within a hundred yards of my house .
But then I was a Navy electrician , and they have actual standards
besides time in position and timely payment of union dues .

I`ve read the Navy isolates all the power, no grounded Neutral, so a single
short to the hull won`t bring down the system.
Did you learn about the power failure on the battleship USS South Dakota at
Guadalcanal? Was it really sabotage? I thought the two generators were
cross-connected without synchronizing them. The damage report was written
much later and contains known errors.
The fires on South Dakota masked Washington beyond and she scored on
Kirishima with amazing accuracy. Usually battleships hit each other with
about 2% of the shells, Washington`s radar-controlled night gunnery was
closer to 25%. That and the one-sided battle at Leyte are the only evidence
of how good our battleships were. It suggests what the US battleships at
Leyte might have done to Yamato if she hadn`t turned back. Although they may
not have been able to defeat her armor they could have destroyed the
superstructure and ability to aim, which had shut down Bismarck.
