USS Fletcher DD992 crashback demonstration, June 1, 2004 midway between Hawaii and California. The ship starts from a stop and accelerates to 31 knots, then it goes to all back full and in a short distance begins backing at 13 knots.

Civilians can be seen because this part of Fletcher's return from the Middle East was designated as a, "Tiger Cruise" where crew members can invite family members or friends to sail with the crew, subject to approval. Approximately 75 civilians were on board at the time.
