Replacement of Deck Plates on the 01 Level

 

Over the years, the 01 Level has taken more than its share of abuse from the weather, and the Navy's worst enemy...rust.  While chipping, priming and repainting has helped, these activities have added up to no more than the famous finger in the dike.  At any moment,  we envisioned one of our visitors slowly descending through one of the weak spots on the 01 level and onto the main deck.

With the new plates pictured below, we are good for another 50 years.  Our thanks again to Patriots Point.
