Abstract
The conclusion of World War II in 1945 loft the
Navy Department with the problem of keeping large numbers
of ships in caretaker status. Among the largest of these
vessels are the battleship type floating drydocks, eight
hundred and twenty-seven feet in length. Some of these
docks are moored in typhoon areas and future operations
may require the service of these vessels in areas whore
high wind velocities may be expected.
