One
of the First Major Projects I was involved With. The picture was taken on a Wednesday, we
landed on Thursday and were told to present a repair option, from a destroyer bow
to restoration for full URO (Unrestricted Operations). I knew where a steel 668 class sonar dome was
located and told our group. With this
information and a plan, NAVSEA told us to be done in 45 days.
And we were.
We had the
USS San Francisco ready to undock in 45 days and when we told NAVSEA we were
ready to undock the boat, they were stunned and said “Wait A Minute”!!!
The reviewed
all of our designs, paper work for deranged systems, modified procedures and
took another 45 days try to figure out what we did.
They
requested 0 changes to anything we did, and the boat undocked, fully water
tight and sea worthy (couldn’t submerge was part of our design).
45 Days from
being smashed up to being fully sea worthy (not submerged). This is what we, the men and women, do at Pearl Harbor Naval
Shipyard. Tell us what you want done
and get out of our way!
