The Most Decorated Battleship in U.S. History Gets an Overdue Face-Lift (nytimes.com) 12 points by spchampion2 2y ago ↗ HN
[–] TheCleric 2y ago ↗ The Battleship New Jersey Museum puts out some great videos on their channel answering questions and showing what they’re doing in the dry dock:https://youtube.com/c/battleshipnewjersey
[–] radishingr 2y ago ↗ I think they may still have a few tickets to go visit the ship while she is in drydock (as in walk under the ship).
[–] bell-cot 2y ago ↗ "Face-Lift" is a very poor descriptive of the work being done.Taking a 45,000-ton ship out of the water is expensive, and is done only when the bottom of it needs serious work.A better description of the work might be "bottom inspection, rust and leak repairs, and replacing the undercoating".
