Yeah, there was some skin bent and had to be removed, but the gear, If it get slammed onto a carrier deck….That sounds right for a landing gear overspeed. I'm pretty sure that in most airplanes, the struts and wheels themselves would survive an extension pretty near Vmax and that gear speed is set mostly so the doors and other secondary bits don't wear out, and why overspeed inspections usually seem to get signed off and leave you wondering what the big deal is.
