I used the LBNSY drydock list to get a list of names, but there were also the Limited Availabilities and the weekenders on Piers 9, 15, and 16.

Won't be going up to Vallejo until next Monday.
The Dry Dock database would certainly name most of the ships we worked on, but only those that were dry docked. We also worked on a lot of ships that were strictly pierside.
Such as this listing from my Appenix B:
OTHER BATTLESHIP AVAILABILITY’S (PIERSIDE ONLY – NO DRY DOCKING):
USS Mississippi (BB-41) 1945
USS Maryland (BB-46) 1945
USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) 1945
USS Nevada (BB-36) 1946 (Prepared for Bikini Atomic tests)
USS Wisconsin (BB-64) 04/19/52
09/23/53
04/14/54
As opposed to Dry Dock availabiilities:
