Salvage of USS Nevada (BB-36), 1941-42
Large patch fabricated by the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard to temporarily
seal torpedo damage inflicted on Nevada's port side during
the Japanese attack of 7 December 1941. Photographed when the
patch was completed in early January 1942.
This patch was not able to make a watertight seal and was removed
before the ship was drydocked on 18 February 1942.
