==The Casely Maneuver==

Originally, the name was applied as a jest, but then became permanently affixed in common useage for a modified [[Picard Maneuver]]. During the assault to save Captain Sevant the Nimitz was under attack by two [[Intrepid Class]] ships. In order to deal with the threat of more maneuverable ships, Casely first pulled a Picard Maneuver, warping 'face to face' with one of the ships and attached a tractor beam after battering down one its fore shields. Then warped towards the other ship, using surprise and the inertia of the first ship to smash it into the second. This effectively destroyed the first ship and disabled the second. While this effectively ended the battle, it also fried the circuits and several subsystems in the Nimitz resulting in lengthy repairs. Casely was awarded the [[Combat Action Ribbon]] for his actions on this date.
