After a lengthy period on the line tending the submarines in Holy Loch, you could say that the CANOPUS was looking a bit worse for the wear. The Naval Shipyard in Charleston served as an overgrown health spa. Working with the shipyard crew, known affectionately by the CANOPUS as the Yardbirds, the ship was dry-docked and the repairs and renovation began. New spaces were constructed and old ones were done away with to make the ship more liveable. All of the various systems of the ship were checked and put back in proper working order. This work was done with constant requests from the yardbirds such as, Howsa 'bout tradin' me a pounda coffee fer this here e-Iectric drill? ln addition to the renovation of the ship, the crew also changed. Old faces were replaced by new ones. Men had been waiting in Charleston for the ship to return so they could report aboard and some of the CANOPUS Holy Lochers walked down the brow for the last time, with orders and seabags in hand. When the work was completed, we were ready for a delightful holiday in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba?!?
