Comment: The ship's name changes, but I first heard this working in the
Shipyard in Bremerton Washington in 1974. Another cool story that went around is when the USS America was built, there was a mistake in the blueprints that didn't provide for any doorways to be built into one of the machine shops. So, they installed a complete machineshop, drill presses and all, and welded shut the walls around it. A year or so later, when the ship was in service, some crewmen figure out that there a a big unaccounted for space they were walking around and around, but couldn't find a way in. So they got a cutting torch and cut an access hole. Lo and behold, they found a complete workshop, with a big sign saying, "Merry Christmas!" |
