No, the mast has not gone very far. But it went in a lot of pieces and is going to be a b*tch to put back together.
You have congratulate MARAD for keeping up the paint. Every dime of excess overhead funding went into buying more paint for her. As a matter of fact, that's the only ship out there they have really made an effort to take care of.
For example, look at this hulk as we were going by to another anchorage to pick up some MARAD inspectors.
Ummm, yeah. That's me on the far left with the Battleship Program decals on my hard hat. When I retired, safety issue did not get that hat back.
