Operati on the fringe of or in the combat zone, Repair Ships restored many the crippled, battle-damaged vessels to fighting efficiency in a matt of days. As large as our fleet actually was, it must have appeared ve much larger to the Japanese.

The five and three-inch gun platforms were demolished. Tempo- rary repairs were effected by cutting away the debris, removing the damaged guns, repairing the ship's hull, and sealing the buckled bulk- heads and decks. Tempo- . - AN 1 , r i rary light ing was install- ' ed. The steering engine room was put back in full commission. The vegetable locker on the port side was insulated, new coils installed, and the locker converted into a freeze box to replace the freeze box which was demolished.

At the height of the storm, several planes broke loose from their in the after end of the hangar deck and damaged the port and starboard hangar ains before they were secured. A plane landing during the storm caught the ship on port list and was thrown into No. l radio antenna mast and knocked it down. n In making repairs to the forward port triple 20mm gun sponson, three long beams bolted to the flight deck so as to extend over the gun tub. The gun tub was then d from these beams by chain falls and the broken supports were cut away. New s were installed and the torn deck plating repaired. Only minor repairs were to put the three 20mm guns in operating condition. The deck of No. 5 director was renewed and a new Mark 51 director installed and ed.

MAZAMA while at anchor in Ulithi Harbor in a berth astern of the JASON was damaged by an underwater external explosion on the port side which blew in the side of number one ammunition hold. This hold was filled with ammunition. No explosion of ammunition resulted, but the hohiwasflooded. The explosion was presumed to have been caused by an enemy suicidal midget submarine or torpedo which was seen approaching from the starboard side of the ship. Parts of the Japanese body and shrapnel were found on the main deck of the MAZAMA. The explosion shook the bricks out of tw if the boilers. The shock also broke the foundation and the gear train housing of the diesel emergency fire pump located in number one hold. The temporary repairs were started by driving wooden wedges into the opened seams of the damaged hold. The water was then pumped out with submersible pumps. The ship's ballast was shifted to raise the bow as high as possible. A rigidly strengthened cofferdam was then constructed on the inner port side of number one lower hold over the tank top between frames 157 and l52i. This cofferdam extended from the deck to the overhead, and ranged in depth from two feet at frame l5Og to five feet at fram 137. The seams of the hull in the area outside the cofferdam were welded wherever possible. In some cases it was necessary to resort to caulking rivets and seams. The boilers were completely rebricked and the emergency fire pump repaired. It was necessary to cast and machine a rear gear train housing for this fire pump. Tests proved the ship seaworthy and the MAZAMA put out to sea.

It was necessary to replace all of the doors, ventilation ducts, piping and several thousand feet of multi-conductor cable which had been destroyed in the area. lfwenty-four hundred square feet of fibrous glass insulation were renewed in the air office, ready rooms and the overhead of the hangar deck in the damaged area. During the availability of the HANCOCK, the JASON shops fabricated the required material, and assisted in installing armored bulkheads and protected ports around the hangar deck control station. The HANCOCK remained alongside the JASON thirteen days and the end of this time cleared the sides ready for duty in the forward battle area. In a later battle action, in which the HANCOCK was hit with a Kamikaze, a.fire raged in the hangar deck. After controlling the fire, the damage control officer stated that the armored bulkhead around the hangar deck control station remained intact and was a deciding factor in enabling control to handle the fire expeditiously.

Repair operations commenced on 20 February 1945. All damaged b u nd the burned deck planking was replaced. The 5 guns and casemates were repaired a . 40mm-gun, located directly above the 5U guns, were completely rewlred. The difficult job was removing and installing the two 5U guns. The only nn available in the area was a small floating crane commonly known as a Mary A of the rough sea and the relative movement between the small crarmzand the C0 handling of the heavy' lifts 'was both. dangerous and difficult to control. I necessary to construct a landing platform outboard the gun mounts and accurate r was essential to line up the guns in order to insert them in casemates. The weight of each gun lift was eleven tons. Secondly, the only guns available in the area at the time were for use with Vickers fire control system. Since the COLORADO was equipped with the General system, it was necessary to modify both of the replacement guns accordingly. It also necessary to replace the wooden bases and tcm drill and. fit them to guns. These guns had been on their foundation better than twenty years. It necessary to apply approximately 100 tons pressure with hydraulic jacks plus sledging to push the hold-down bolts through the gun base rings. The new base having smaller holes in the flange than the original necessitated re-machining all holding-down bolts. The auxiliary train and elevation gears were salvaged damaged guns and rebuilt. 'The train and elevation receivers and indicators repaired and reinstalled. New telescope holders were cast by the JAsoN's foundry machined to replace the damaged ones.

SAN JACINTO suffered damage to the gun sponsons and director, the stacks, and the plat- forms on the starboard side while fueling at sea in rough weather. Contact between the two vessels damaged number one stack and the incinerator stack which rises parallel to and just aft of number one stack of the carrier. The number nine 40mm gun sponson and its Mark Sl director, the catwalk from frames 120 to 131, and forward support beams of the parking platform at frame 62 were bashed in. The SAN JACINTO moored alongside the JASON for repairs on 6 March 1945 in Ulithi Harbor. The damaged plates of number one stack were cut away and the stack rebuilt. The pictures to the right show the repairs in progress on the stacks. Complete repairs were effected to the main and incinerator stacks, gun and director sponsons, catwalk and crushed whale boat. Routine maintenance repairs, consisting of replacing flight decking, boiler work, machinery overhaul, and rebricking the incinerator, were accomplished during the availability period. On l2 March, the JASGN cleared the side of the SAN JACINTO and moored alongside of the damaged U.S.S. RANDOLPH. Three more days of twelve-hour shifts from our new anchorage sufficed to finish complete repairs to the SAN JACINTO. 0n l5 March she left for the forward battle area. f-A--W-we ff- A A as as spew-R wg J i I 1 SAN' JACINTTD moored alongside the JASON.

Repairs were accomplished between 17 April and 50 April. For the diesel fire pump engine a new gear housing and cover was Cast, machined, and fitted. The engine was overhauled and upon reinstallation, complete realignment of the engine and pump was accomplished. No. 3 L.P. turbine was considered Satisfactory. The No. 5 L.P. was realigned, one broken foot was metalocked and one was welded. New holding-down bolts and chocks were manufactured and installed. In the Itduction gear all pinion bearings were rebabbitted,rebored,scraped in and fitted. The Same repairs were accomplished to No. 4 reduction gear. The realignment of the No. 3 and NO- 4 line shafts presented a problem. Because the ENTERPRISE was waterborne, the fOI'ward coupling at the jacking gear was assumed to be one constant and the coupling at the stern tube forward and was used as the other. A periphery check on the after Coupling of No.4 line shaft was started,but because of galling of the body-bound bolts of the coupling it was decided not to break the coupling and use the shaft alone as the Centering device. All pedestal bearings were cut loose to allow the shaft to find its own center. Pedestal bearings were snugged to the journals and raised .OO6 inches for SHS allowance. The jacking gear was engaged to the journals and the pedestal bearings allowed to find their own centers. All broken feet were welded and fitted with new Steel covering plates.

These tanks have a capacity of over 100,000 gallons an are partltloned into four 3993113759 'Banks The welciments between the gasoline tank tops and the cross partition bulkheads were separated and the tank top seams were opened which allowed gasoline to escape into the compartments over- head. The damage appeared to have resulted from the application of too high a pressure while fueling at sea. The fueling of planes was hampered to suchadegree that the ship could no longer carry out her operations. Complete cleaning by wheeleriz ing and steaming out was accomplished on the main gasoline tanks of the ANZIO. An access hole was cut in the deck above the tank tops. A large vent blower duct was installed through this hole to furnish continuous ventilat ion while necessary welding inthe tank was performed. After repairs had been completed, including the repairing of all gas and relief valves, tests were Conducted which indicated the condition of the gasoline stowage and fueling system to be Satisfactory.

The JASON undertook all the topside work, inside work, and the installation of the 40mm twin mount. The MOUNT OLYMPUS remained in dry dock until Sl July, at which time she came alongside the JASON and remained until l August when she left ona scheduled operation. All repairs had been finished, except the wiring of the new 40mm gun and some minor repairs to the hull.

This damage did not at first make the h' g t s ip inoperative, but vibration was noted at several Speeds- The S1119 steamed 3,000 miles before time and dock were available for replacement of the shaft. By this time a definite lope was noticeable. Repairs to the U.S.S. LUBBOCK were commenced on 1 Jul 1945, A y replacement tail shaft was located and ordered for shipment by air express. In order to remove the shaft, it was neoessary to first take out the section of shaft immediat l h ' e y a ead of it. This was accomplished while the LUBBOCK was await ing her availability in the floating dry dock AFD454, Due to limited space for working in the shaft alley it was necessar to remov y e one pedestal bearing in order to break the shaft coupling and pull the shaft forward A rectangular access was out in the deck of the magazine directly above, and chain falls were rigged around the central I beam in the overhead of the ma azine. The s cti n of g e o shaft forward of the tail shaft was lowered into the bilges by means of three ten-ton Chain falls and was cribbed there. Upon entering dry dock, removal of the propeller was Commenced.

Although the ship's bluePI'iI1t3 indicated that there were holes in the propeller bladeg for lift ing purposes, none could be found. Holes were therefore drilled in these locations. Four ten-ton chain falls were secured to padeyeg, which had been left on the hull by the builder of the ship, and were uSed to take the weight of the propeller off the shaft. After removal of the propeller, the tail shaft was then snaked forward into the ship and by means of the Chain falls rigged to the overhead it was then lifted up through the rectangular hole in the magazine deck and 7 forward through another hole which had been cut in the forward bulkhead of the magazine. lt was then placed under the 57-ton loading boom. As the replacement shaft rn tube was blanked off. The LUBBOCK was towed from the dry dock and anchored in a nearby berth await ing arrival of the new tail shaft. The task of replacing the tail shaft fell to the U.S.S. PROMETHEUS, for on l9 August 1946 she was ordered to relieve the JASON in the Manicani area. The U'.S.S.

It is regretted that the JASQN will not be here to complete the controlling job on the propeller shaft. However, the advance work has been so well planned by the JASON that complet ion of the job should present no difficult ies. 2, This vessel has not, since commissioning, been afforded an availability for f repairs by repair orces afloat. Consequently, the ship had a considerable number of repair items most of which have been accomplished by the JASON during the past three weeks. The Repair Officer and his capable assistants have, at all times, been highly ce-operative and helpful. The JASON presents an outstanding example of the splendid repair forces afloat which have kept our ships in action throughout the war. fs! T. J.

In July, several months after the initial damage, the DARNELL was floated by Sealing the bulkhead between number two and three holds and placed in the float ing dry dock YFD-21 off Manicani Island. Gn 4 August 1945 the JASON commenced removing wreckage and damaged cargo from the vessel. The cargo consisted of jeeps, ammunition, and other army equipment. In order to remove the ragged edges in the hull caused by this explosion, a hole was cut in the starboard side from three feet to port of the keel and extending up to the second deck on the starboard Side. This hole was between frames seventy-eight and ninety. After the debris had been cleared away, the damaged sections prepared for renewing, and material procured for repairs, the JASON was ordered to San Pedro Bay, Philippine Islands, and the U.S.S.
