PaulHoule|1 year ago The New Jersey is my favorite museum ship by far. bell-cot|1 year ago "Face-Lift" is a very poor descriptive of the work being done.Taking a 45,000-ton ship out of the water is expensive, and is done only when the bottom of it needs serious work.A better description of the work might be "bottom inspection, rust and leak repairs, and replacing the undercoating".
