Spaceshiptember 2023, Day 27: Shipyards/Construction- "Starfleet's Core"

Utopia Planitia was destroyed. The builder of a thousand starships broken by hubris. The exploited exploited, brought on by the dying days of the Star Empire. But it will rise again from the ashes; there will always be new worlds to explore, new conquests to defend from.

The bow of USS HORNET (CV-12) being cut off to repair the damage bow of USS WASP (CV-18) at the New York Navy Yard.

"On April 26, 1952, WASP collided with destroyer minesweeper USS HOBSON (DMS-26) while conducting night flight operations in the Atlantic, en route to Gibraltar. HOBSON was cut in two and sank. Rapid rescue operations saved 61 men, but Hobson lost 176 of her crew, including her skipper. Although WASP sustained no personnel casualties her hull was severely damaged, with a 30 x 50-foot bite gouged out of the bow. With the carrier urgently needed for duty in the Mediterranean, preparations for repairs were begun immediately.

WASP carefully proceeded to Bayonne, N.J., entered drydock there on May 8 and her damaged bow was cleared out with blow torches. The following day, the bow of HORNET —then undergoing conversion in Brooklyn, N.Y.— was cut off and floated by barge across the bay. It was fitted into position under WASP that afternoon, with steel plates to close any remaining gaps, and workers began round-the-clock welding operations. This remarkable repair task, which including replacing 61 lifeboats and refitting the carrier's anchor chain, was completed in only 10 days, enabling the carrier to get underway on May 21. Shifting south to Norfolk, the crew spent a short three days preparing for deployment and WASP sailed east across the Atlantic on May 24."

Photographed on May 8, 1952.

A crane and a drydock

It's always lovely to flee from a big urban centre to a bit smaller urban centre but on the seaside. Here's a drydock and a crane in a Viktor Lenac shipyard, in Rijeka. June 2023.
