Summary[edit]

Description

The bow of the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-12) ist transprted from the New York Naval Shipyard to be fitted to USS Wasp (CV-18) in drydock at Bayonne, New Jersey (USA), in May 1952.
Wasp collided with USS Hobson (DMS-26) on 26 April 1952 while conducting night flying operations in the Atlantic, en route to Gibraltar. Hobson was cut in two and sank, 61 men of her crew could be rescued, but 176 were lost. Wasp sustained no personnel casualties but her bow was severely damaged. As the carrier was urgently needed for duty in the Mediterranean, Wasp entered drydock at Bayonne, New Jersey (USA), on 8 May. Her damaged bow was immediately cleared out with blow torches and the following day she received the bow of USS Hornet (CV-12) which was undergoing conversion at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, New York. Her repair was completed in only 10 days, enabling the carrier to get underway on 21 May and resume her deployment just three days later.

Note the aircraft carrier USS Ticonderoga (CV-14) in the right background which began her SCB-27C modernization at the New York Navy Yard on 1 April 1952.
