Wasn't there a Navy cruiser in the area involved in a war games exercise?
I'm thinking Sully took a couple of surface to air missiles.

Interesting. Did I spot the captain in one of them, in a hard hat?

What I found interesting is that the radome and left side of the nose
was damaged. I assume that this was from the bird strikes.
