| NavalHistoria posted The USS Washington in a dry dock at the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard having her bow repaired after a collision with the USS Indiana, March 1944 https://navalhistoria.com/the-history-of-pearl-harbor/ Lucas Mingst: What's amazing is how fast they rebuilt a new bow onto her. Shawn Moran Sr.: I believe they took the bow off another battleship in construction that’s why They got her back so quickly. Corey Patrick:Shawn Moran Sr .That was Wisconsin and got part of the unfinished Kentucky's bow. Washington got back fast due to exceptional and precise documentation and reporting by the ships CO and Chief Engineer by listing damaged sections by frame numbers, bulkheads, and piping. Thus a new bow was already being fabricated by the time Washington went into dry dock for permanent repairs. Ted Jones: One of the more amazing stories that came out of this collision is that at least one Washington crew member ended up safe aboard the Indiana. I think I have that right. And there was also, as I recall, a typewriter that moved from one ship to the other without being damaged. [The comments talk about other ships that lost their bows and they travelled backwards all the way to Austrailia for repairs.] |

Unlike many shipyards in the USA, this one is still active.

| I Love Warships posted Aerial photograph of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (USA), from 5,250 m (17,200 ft) altitude, looking directly down on East Loch and on the Fleet Air Base on Ford Island. Taken on 3 May 1940, after the conclusion of Fleet Problem XXI, and just prior to the 7 May receipt of word that the Fleet was to be retained in Hawaiian waters. There are eight battleships and the carrier USS Yorktown (CV-5) tied up along the island's southeastern side (toward the top), with two more battleships alongside 1010 dock at top right center. Two light cruisers and two destroyers are among the ships moored along Ford Island's northwestern side. Seventeen other cruisers and over thirty destroyers are also visible, mainly in East Loch. At the seaplane base, at the southern (top right) tip of Ford Island, are at least 38 Consolidated PBY patrol planes. |

| Bridges Now and Then posted A 610 foot Bridge Gantry Crane at Pearl Harbor, February 20, 1945. Note it was manufactured by the Judson Pacific Bridge Company. (Library of Congress) John Bert: It’s 341ft 7.5 inches between tracks that’s in the pic and looks like 610 ft was the length of track the ordered for the crane to run on at least that’s how I read it and 92 3/4or so ft tall. Bob Art: Judson started in SF, later moving to Emeryville for larger shop. We live in Indian Valley CA. During the late 30’s Judson built bridges in the Feather River Canyon. Excellent examples of pony truss construction for the two remaining in our valley. Between our valley and Quincy CA some of the bridges have been replaced with new construction but I like the bridges as they were |
