Photo Album: REACTIVATION

ThumbnailDescription & CreditThumbnailDescription & Credit

Undergoing reactivation at Norfolk, Virginia, 3 August 1950. She was the first ship of the Norfolk Reserve Fleet to be removed from "mothballs" during the Korean War crisis. Credit: NAVY.

"The first phase of reactivation work began today (Tuesday, December 5) aboard the heavy cruiser USS Los Angeles (CA-135) at the San Francisco Naval Shipyard. Today, Yard workmen removed the ship's gun covers and prepared for all-out reactivation. When the ship is re-commissioned, probably during mid-January 1951, special ceremonies will be held and it is hoped by local Navy officials that the Honorable Fletcher Bowrow, Mayor of Los Angeles, will be present." Text quoted from the original photo caption, which was released on 5 December 1950. The ship recommissioned on 27 January 1951, following reactivation work at Hunter's Point, San Francisco, California, where this photograph was taken. Credit: NAVY.

"Everybody turns to when it's reactivation time. Here storekeeper striker D.W. Shore ... and Glenn Hobbs ... remove a dehumidifier from the hangar deck of USS Bairoko prior to its actual reactivation by San Francisco Naval Shipyard employees." "Navy men like Seaman Hobbs and Storekeeper Shore were given the task of helping in reassembling the ship that would be theirs when the ship departed from San Francisco." Quoted caption was released with this photo circa August 1950. Bairoko recommissioned for Korean War service on 12 September 1950. Credit: NAVY.
