A lot of steel here at 118 tons apiece. Regunning of USS Missouri in Norfolk back in the 50's.

What is that by the elephant's foot? Also looks like someone dumped dirt on him. Maybe that's why he is pissed?? |

The top photo is of the Paravane Eye on the Forefoot Skeg of the USS New Jersey. The eye led to a chain pipe up through the forepeak tank to tow anti-mine paravanes.
But we had a lot of corrosion and erosion problems with that cast eye and the forepeak tank was always flooded.
The bottom photo is after the eye and chain piping was removed and the bow plated over nice and smooth.
Yeah, yeah. That's me there.

Our famous "Herman the German" crane ("Titan II") working on the USS Missouri at Long Beach Naval Shipyard. In my younger and more reckless years, I climbed all the way to the top at the aircraft warning light.
