USS Utah (AG-16)
Under salvage at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, 13 February 1944. The
ship, which capsized to port after being torpedoed in the Japanese
attack of 7 December 1941, is seen at about the 68 degree position
at the completion of the first pulling period. Her blister plating
has been cut away around the turn of the bilge to provide fairlead
to hitch pads.
Salvage efforts rolled her back toward Ford Island, but she was
not refloated.
