Turrets on UTAH [ship] (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Pete (LOC P&P) said:

  Thanks, Wystan. We will update the record with the correct spelling.

• Charley Seavey said:

  Utah is currently visible as a wreck on the west side of Ford Island, Pearl Harbor. She was no longer an active battleship on December 7, 1941, but probably looked like one from the air, took some torpedoes, and sank.

• FrigateRN said:

  These unposed pictures of a moment in the life of a ship are to me always much more interesting than 'posed' pictures. Sailors, especially on the old ships, were not always clean and shiny.

  Back when this image was made, a liquid Freon was used in a process that was labeled, "vapor degreaser." Since there is no exhaust hood this is a possibility. Chlorinated hydrocarbons such as trichloroethane and 1.1.1.trichloroethylene were also used as a degreaser but I'd expect an exhaust hood. So far as I know, neither of these would be allowed by regulatory laws in California today. The black drums in the forground may have readable labels that identify the degreasing material.
  
  Note the guy with the pendant-type crane control in the foreground.
