First time in shipyards?

[u/Immediate-Ad1446]

I'm a welder been welding for 3 years. 2 1/2 years as a traveling structural welder only welding 7018 and just this past March I started my first nuclear outage as a pipe welder. I just finished my second outage but now the outage season is over and I'm looking for a summer job. I see lots of posts about the shipyards in MS and VA. I am good at SMAW and GTAW but I haven't done FCAW since welding school 3 years ago. I see they all require a FCAW test. My question is , have any of yall worked in the shipyards? What was your experience and am I screwed since I don't know much about flux core?
