Covered ways

[edit]

Can anyone explain what "unusual covered ways" are or means? That turn of phrase was introduced in this revision Thanks. 98.218.248.90 (talk) 06:19, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It means just what it says - the ways (where the ships were built) were under cover, ie protected from the weather by buildings which surrounded them. This was highly unusual in an era where ship ways were normally exposed to the elements. Gatoclass (talk) 13:24, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

USS Pogy contract cancellation.

[edit]

I find the info regarding the Pogy contract cancellation because of contributions to Nixon to be dubious but I would never say it's not possible.

I grew up in Pascagoula, Mississippi and worked in the submarine program at Ingalls Shipbuilding. The primary reason for the contract cancellation was because of questions regarding quality control with regard to hull welds.

When she was brought to Ingalls, hull X-rays showed that a large portion of the Pogy's hull welds were improperly done. Welders at New York Ship were paid for production. That is, the more welds they completed, the more they got paid.

The HY 80 hulls were very thick and the hull welds required numerous passes to lay in a sufficient amount of metal into the V-grooves where the pieces fit together. X-rays clearly showed that in numerous hull welds, the NY Ship welders had laid large welding rods into the grooves to serve as filler. Ingalls eventually cut most hull welds out and re-welded them.

I have never found this information anywhere online but I heard it first-hand numerous times from several welders, X-ray techs, QA techs, and Superintendents who worked on the Pogy at Ingalls.

  ------------I worked as an intern at the Camden Shipbuilding and Maritime Museum.  I helped the director set up an exhibit on NYS,

and I brought the tidbit about political contributions to the Nixon Campaign to her attention. She has never heard this story and was skeptical. Numerous factors contributed to the 'death' of NYS including Louis Wolfson's gutting of the facility and overbidding on contracts, and a dried up market for Merchant vessels. Until someone digs up some evidence, this 'fact' should be treated as nothing more than a rumor. I do know, however, that the President of NYS sent a telegram to the Secretary of the Navy Connally complaining that the USS Kittyhawk received unfair criticism from some Admirals. Because of the Kittyhawks 'bad review', NYS was barred from bidding on Navy contracts for years. (Source: The Chief Mariner Engineer for NYS, Lofft's (His first name escapes me) memoirs.

Ship's Built Section

[edit]

Very lacking - pretty sure this Shipyard build quite a few Ships : 3 large Cruisers USS Alaska, USS Guam, USS Hawaii (not completed), 4 of 14 Baltimore Class heavy Cruisers built there, 10 Cleveland class light cruisers, plus the 9 converted Independence Class light aircraft carriers, 3 Brooklyn class cruisers. USS Colorado DD-45) , Uss Idaho (BB-42) USS Oklahoma (BB-37) , 2 Leahy Class guided missile frigates/cruisers, Truxton (CGN-35) . 6 Adams class DDGs, 4 Dealey class FF.

Something for me to come back and work on. Please pardon my hastiness in this - lack of links. AS I write this, I went to each ship class article ain Wikipedia and checked , wrote the Numbers.

                Here is a start of a table - copying from those
