USS Hawaii (CB-3)
Under construction at the New York Shipbuilding Corp., Camden,
New Jersey on 3 July 1946.
The after 12" turret and three after 5" mounts are
in place--the latter without their shields.
Shipyard gear and men on deck indicate that construction was
still underway, but little additional visible progress was made
before work was officially suspended on 17 February 1947.
