4 4 'nrpg A .N 24 N p An unusual shot-dry doclc. The new loolr. What is it? YARD UVERHAUL When the QRISKANY departed from the New Yorlc Naval Shipyard in March, I952, hard-working yard worlcers had completed the taslc ot remodeling and repairing the ship, an operation that required tive long months ot preparation tor the ship's next tour ot duty. Une ot the tirst major projects completed was the con- struction ot a new bridge. As a part ot it, a new automatic steering device was installed which enabled the ship to main- tain a set course regardless ot changing winds and heavy sea conditions. Although experimental predecessors ot this robot helms- man had been installed in other U. S. Naval ships, the ORISKANY was the tirst air- cratt carrier to be so equipped permanently. An almost complete replace- ment ot the flight declc tollowed and other less revolutionary changes were seen. Two prom- inent changes were the re-loca- tion ot the crew's Barber Shop and the installation ot two I6O- gallon ice cream boxes in the galley. These changes, most ot which demanded intinite skill and de- votion to detail, were com- pleted in the allotted time and thus enabled the CRISKANY to sail tor South America and around Cape l-lorn with tittings equalling those on any other aircratt carrier in the Navy's powerful tleet. ,Y Interior decorating. y
