Salvage of USS Nevada (BB-36), 1941-42


Large patch fabricated by the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard to temporarily seal torpedo damage inflicted on Nevada's port side during the Japanese attack of 7 December 1941. Photographed when the patch was completed in early January 1942.
After unsuccessful attempts to attach this patch to the ship and attain a watertight seal, it was removed before Nevada drydocked on 18 February 1942.
