Underwater Propeller Change, USS Enterprise, CVN-65

New Propeller is prepared for Installation

A lot of thought went into shipping this 34
tons of bronze from Philadelphia to San Francisco Bay. Not only did we spend
hours verifiying, inspecting, and unwrapping the screw, but a number of
important pieces parts can only be installed when the screw is vertical. Once
we finished the detailwork, everyone geared up for the in-water evolutions.
