The maintenance work is expected to take about two months.
Residents in the Philadelphia area are about to see a rare site - a battleship floating down the Delaware River.
The vessel, guided by tugboats, will initially head to the Paulsboro Marine Terminal, where it will be balanced to prepare for dry docking, and will then go to the Navy Yard six days later. The maintenance work is expected to take about two months to complete, officials said. Three major repair projects are planned, including repainting the ship's hull, fixing the anti-corrosion system underneath the ship and inspecting through-hull openings.The ship will cross under the Walt Whitman Bridge around 1:30 p.m., and the bridge will be closed to traffic during that time.
