Another view of the blocks under the keel. The screen in the upper part of the photo is a water intake

 

 

Still another view looking down the keel at the blocks. The openings you see are ballast tank flood ports, some of which are plated over

 

 

A view of the starboard bow. Blasting isn't complete yet on this part of the hull

 

 

A view of Chesapeake and Torsk in the dry dock, taken prior to blasting the hull

 

That's all folks.....

Many thanks to Chuck Weaver for sharing these photos with us!!!
