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


Window frame patch in place on Nevada's port bow, circa 19 February 1942, after she had been refloated and placed in Pearl Harbor Navy Yard's Drydock Number Two. This patch was used to seal a bomb hole in the turn of the bilge at about Frame 7.
Nevada had sunk in Pearl Harbor as a result of bomb and torpedo damage received in the 7 December 1941 Japanese air raid.
