34k | I was on the Wasp from 1959 to 1962. I was a EM-3 and I stood watches on the electric generators often. Another sailor took time to show me this information written on the back of this Generator switchboard #2 plaque. | Pat Hastings, EM-3 | |||||||||

217k | "Jarring Arrival" "The [decommissioned] aircraft carrier Wasp, tied up at Old Federal Docks in Newark, N.J., earlier yesterday struck a railroad bridge across Newark Bay, ripping off the ship's radar mast (black section atop flight deck alongside superstructure) and a railing. No injuries were reported. The Coast Guard said the 890-foot long Wasp, which was being towed by five tugs, continued through the bridge after leaving a section of its platform hanging from the abutment." |
