[GreenKeys] OT: Taking A Look Underneath The Battleship New Jersey | Hackaday

[Jeff G]

Ironically, the NJ has both welded and riveted panels, as well as caulking.
The caulking is what delayed the ship as they had to research what it was
and locate it.

Hoping to get back soon - the ship will be coming home tomorrow (Thurs) but
we won't be able to get back onboard until next week I believe. Even then
we have a lot of work to do (partially for good reasons) to get the shop
back in order and functional again. Supposedly the radio I was using for
RTTY is acting up, however it might just be a fluke error so I have to
investigate.
