Enterprise was the Teflon ship. Rocky Spane's career also survived an Enterprise grounding (he retired as VADM)
My division's (RC-11) berthing compartment was directly over one of the voids that flooded because of the grounding. I heard stories of them sounding the void and never hitting bottom
She's a tough ship. If she could survive multiple MK-82 detonations on the flight deck
a little thing like hitting an undersea mountain wasn't going to stop her.
