No, in the yard (NNSY, at least when I was there!), they would RT all welds that penetrated the hull, as well as any flight deck repairs.
If there was a void seen, someone with a carbon arc system would cut it out, then reweld, and re-RT that area.
Also the same type of testing on the nuke cruiser I was on as well.
