PUT TCD THE TEST The causeways carried onboard Sum- ter are steel piers which provide the Navy 3 vital link up between the ships and the shore. They allow fast oiiload and onload of vehicles, troops and supplies. Construc- tion Battalion 2 is responsible for the four causeway sections onboard Sumter. Each Causeway section weighs in excess of 65 tons. The causeways can be used as a pier on the beach or a ferry transporting equip- ment to and from the ships. ,r..- N ffgiiiei i .4 A ,xc . ,,, .. -.., .3- '.
