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


The Hawaiian Dredging Company crane barge Gaylord transports the large patch to Nevada's resting place in Pearl Harbor, where it was used in an attempt to seal torpedo damage received on 7 December 1941. Photographed in January 1942.
The patch had been fabricated by the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard. After unsuccessful attempts to attach it to the ship and attain a watertight seal, it was removed before Nevada was drydocked on 18 February 1942.

Collection of Vice Admiral Homer N. Wallin.
