The USS New Jersey has set sail for Philadelphia from nearby Camden, where it has been docked since 2000, and is set to undergo two months' worth of maintenance work.
A famed battleship was floating down the Delaware River on Thursday as the USS New Jersey left its dock in Camden, New Jersey, on its way to the Philadelphia Navy Yard for extensive maintenance work. The vessel, guided by tugboats, was first headed to the Paulsboro Marine Terminal, where it will be balanced to prepare for dry docking and will then go to the Navy Yard in six days. The maintenance work is expected to take about two months to complete, officials said.
Szimanski said there are some concerns about the move, mainly due to the ship's age, but believes things will go smoothly.
