Photo #: NH 93588 USS Hawaii (CB-3) The stack area of the ship during construction at the New York Shipbuilding Corp., Camden, New Jersey on 8 January 1947. Visible preparations for mothballing include plating over the top of the stack and over the empty 5" gun position to port. Construction was officially suspended on 17 February 1947. Note shipyard workers' graffiti, apparently related to a union election. Courtesy of Charles N. Dragonette. U.S. Naval Historical Center Photograph. Online Image: 176KB; 595 x 765 pixels
