Summary
[edit]DescriptionUSS Betelgeuse (AK-260) being mothballed c1971.jpg | Mothballing of the U.S. Navy cargo ship USS Betelgeuse (AK-260) at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, Pennsylvania (USA), using a newly developed preservation method, circa 1971. The ship’s deck, topside equipment and superstructure were completely covered from bow to stem by a single, customengineered, air-supported, plastic structure within which dehumidified air was circulated. The advantage of this method was that significant time was saved in reactivating a ship to full operating status. The new process required minimum dismantling of a ship’s topside equipment for stowage below deck. Winches, controllers, directors and other topside gear remained in place. |
