I don't suppose that anybody ever came up with the idea of scraping the rust off a small area and then painting it? And then most to another small spot. There is the right way, the wrong way, and the "military" way. Every time.

 

I don't know if the Navy still uses the Bremerton Ship Yard. In the Puget Sound Bay west of Seattle. Everything rusted and it constantly rained holding up projects. I could never figure out why the site was ever picked. RJF

Bremerton!! Sure they still use it.  My son was stationed there for a while.  Absolutely beautiful area.  He lived in Poulsbo.  Was on the USS Carl Vinson.  Took a break from F-18 to learn more about ship life.  Went out for a prep cruse to prepare for a normal 6 month cruse and didn't get back until 9 months later!  They were called to the middle east while on the prep exercise.  When he returned, his son and I  I loved it over there, would love to live around that area.

I lived there so far back both the aircraft carrier and submarine I served have been sunk. Folks that serve on subs generally don't serve on the surface. Strange trade, but they needed a tech to troubleshoot problems. I was traded in a bar conversation. RJF

I was in a Transport Company and every time we'd bring the trucks or any vehicle for that matter back to the Depo. we'd grab a gallon of Olive Green and a 4" brush and slap it on any scratches etc In some places I think they where bullet proof because of all the paint ;)
