Local operations from her home port of Norfolk and Caribbean exercises were conducted until 14 March 1957 when she carried President Dwight D. Eisenhower to Bermuda for a conference with Prime Minister Harold MacMillan of Great Britain.

Although increased speed had been rung up. Rough calculations by the ship based on the added weight due to flooding of the machinery spaces and one uptake, and assuming free surface in one engineroom and the uptake, yielded a value of 5.4 feet. 62, USS Quincy CA39, Astoria CA34 & Vincennes CA44 War Damage Report No. Tow was later transferred to tugs. On the basis of CANBERRA's experience and that of numerous other vessels, a directive was issued in April 1945 to install box strainers with the total area of holes equal to four times the area of the suction line over machinery space bilge wells. torpedo contains 522 pounds of Type 97 explosive which consists of 40 per cent HND and 60 per cent TNT and is approximately as powerful as an equal weight of TNT.
power leads from the forward firerooms. Starboard side looking aft into No.
Leaks around the rudder stock and through a faulty check valve in the bilge eductor discharge, which had given trouble prior to the damage, were slightly aggravated as a result of the damage. 2 switchboard which showed signs of seepage of water from aft. My father, Michael Kobylanski, and Electrician's Mate on CA-70 1943-1946 passed away on June 18th, 2020.
26, USS Saratoga CV3 War Damage Report No. There was no blast or fragment damage to either bulkhead 90 or bulkhead 105, and, except for the holes torn in the bulkheads as a consequence of the casualty to No.
Her after 8" turret was replaced by Terrier antiaircraft missile launchers and she was otherwise modernized.
102. FRANKLIN (CV13)*** is the most notable of another group of war damage cases in which the armored deck effectively protected spaces below against bomb damage. Detonation of the torpedo was accompanied by a large ball of flame which shot up the side of the ship to about mast height followed by a geyser of water. (g) 40mm magazine (C-601-M), in the hold, flooded to a depth of 8 inches from the after engineroom through electric cable bulkhead stuffing tubes. Although the ability to increase towing speed from 5 to 8 or more knots has merit which is fully recognized by the Bureau, the sacrifice in armament and other characteristics necessary to allow for the increased weight and space required by heavier towing gear is not considered to be justified in view of the infrequent use made of towing gear. The cables will be used to link the bridge jack box with the main deck terminals of main or steering engineroom risers in the event of damage to primary ship handling circuits. 31. Improved packing tubes, materials and methods together with modified specifications calling for additional slackness in cable runs between bulkheads should alleviate the difficulty with stuffing tubes to a considerable extent.
Engineering personnel turned attention toward restoring power for lighting, guns, communications and F.C. PLEASE EMAIL YOUR SPECIFIC REQUEST - SHIP NAME AND/OR DESIGNATION TO: realwarphotos@yahoo.com Carriers - CV's. Normal service was reestablished when this line was cut out and a jumper rigged to central station. On last cruise.Also de-commissioning.Was in 4th Div also.Made good friends while on board. bulkhead 97-1/2 was blown forward and the lower portion jammed upward against the first platform in No. (g) Photographs Nos.

331569 entries available online. 1 board, in addition, supplied lighting and power circuits frames 80 to 120 through a casualty power lead on the starboard side. 3 turbo-generator, was damaged beyond repair, (Photo 10).
In view of this casualty and the casualty to HOUSTON shafting, the design of improved spring bearings, thrust bearings and bulkhead shaft glands was investigated. If any of them find their way to this comment, please know that he was honored to call you shipmate and you have my utmost respect and thanks for answering the call those many days ago. 1 boiler could supply steam to No. Motor for No.
All cables to power panels and switchboards that were tied to Nos. No. She arrived home in Norfolk on 24 October. 4 engine was secured two or three minutes after the hit occurred. After a midshipman training cruise to the Caribbean and Brazil (13 June - 5 August), she departed Norfolk 3 September to participate in NATO Operation "Strikeback," sailing on to the Mediterranean for duty with the 6th Fleet before returning home 9 March 1958.In the spring of 1958, CANBERRA was designated as ceremonial flagship for the selection of the unknown servicemen of World War II and Korea to be buried with honor at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery. My father, EM3 Michael Kobylanski, was aboard in 1943 and remained on board throughout the war. 53.
At the time of the hit, the ship was in a condition which offered near maximum resistance to battle damage.
1 engineroom was being dewatered. The flat keel was buckled and raised between frames 95 and 109 with a maximum deflection of 2-3/4 inches at frame 99.
This was considered sound in view of the fact that watertight, partially armored trunks, fitted with quick-acting watertight doors to the third deck and with watertight hatches to the second deck, extended from the third to second decks, augmenting the watertightness of the armored hatch; and protection against missiles from above was given by the wide seating scarf in the armored hatch.
80. The after gyro and repeaters were put out of commission by grounds and short circuits on the after gyro panel caused by water seepage through and around electric cables from the flooded after engineroom. 32, USS Lexington CV2 War Damage Report No. No. SECTION II - SUMMARY.
28, USS Princeton CVL23 War Damage Report No. The opening in the shell plating and inner bottom was irregular in shape and extended between frames 95 and 104 and from about 15 feet to starboard of the keel to the lower edge of the armor belt. I am new to the workings of the internet. 3 torpedo which was the type used most frequently by the Japanese. Door 3-99 in the trunk was not distorted but the frame around the upper periphery of the door pulled away, leaving an opening of about 3 inches. His best friend. 1 engineroom open under split plant conditions were closed. 68. 45. CANBERRA, as well as other ships including HOUSTON, RENO, DENVER and INDEPENDENCE, have had considerable difficulty with leakage of water through electric cable bulkhead stuffing tubes and seepage of water through cables from flooded compartments. As soon as it was evident that both enginerooms were flooding rapidly and that all propulsive power was lost, preparations were commenced for towing. 14. The 2020 Reunion is still scheduled to be held this year starting on 30 September to 4 October. 2 boiler was put on the line and No. Only 2 U.S. cruisers, CANBERRA and HOUSTON, out of 11 hit by single torpedoes in way of machinery spaces were immobilized. 2 boiler to supply No. Still in contact with Ken Grebash. 51. The doctrine is justified when it is considered that all personnel escaped from both enginerooms even though the after space flooded to the third deck in approximately four minutes; whereas, only 17 of the 25 men in the after fireroom of HOUSTON escaped. No. On board at atart of decommissioning. (c) The after Diesel generator room (C-402-E), on the first platform, flooded to a depth of 3 inches from the after engineroom through electric cable bulkhead stuffing tubes. Additional minor leaks were stopped and eventually leakage was controlled by operating small portable electric submersible pumps intermittently. Steam pressure was boosted at regular intervals. 7, 8 and 9 40mm quadruple mounts, and Nos.
Since the exhaust line from No. (c) The waterline was above the overhead of the machinery spaces, consequently, there was no free surface in these spaces. The extent of structural damage is consistent with that to be expected from the Type 91, Mod. Newspapers carried banner headlines proclaiming the victory and commentators expanded an Imperial Headquarters communique claiming the sinking of 17 American ships and the destruction of 112 planes, inflating it to the sinking of more than 50 ships and the destruction of over 1,000 planes. 3 fireroom showing No.
