Moving the Battleship USS New Jersey to Drydock in the Philadelphia Navy Yard

At the beginning of the month, we posted a drone video of the battleship USS Texas being refloated following repairs and refurbishment on the drydock at the Gulf Copper Shipyard in Galveston.

Here is another drone video of a historic battleship being moved to a drydock for repairs. On Thursday, March 21st, the Iowa-class battleship USS New Jersey was towed down the Delaware River towards the North Atlantic Ship Repair facility at the Philadelphia Navy Yard where she will be drydocked for 60 days. The 45,000-ton historic vessel will be dry-docked in the very berth where it was built and subsequently launched on December 7, 1942.
