On Thursday, March 21st, the Battleship New Jersey was towed down the Delaware River towards the Philadelphia Navy Yard where she will be drydocked for 60 days. This project is years in the making and will see restoration of the bottom part of the ship. While in dry dock, a thorough examination will be conducted on approximately 165 underwater through-hull openings essential for various operations, such as engine cooling. These openings were safeguarded with sheet-metal plates upon the ship’s decommissioning in 1991, and to date, only one instance of failure has been recorded. The entire operation is projected to span at least two months, with the ultimate aim of returning the USS New Jersey to Camden in time for Memorial Day and the ensuing tourist season. The Wildwood Video Archive has been documenting every step of the process with this being our 4th video on the Battleship New Jersey. To check out all those videos click the link below.
