Default Neat machining spaces on the USS New Jersey

HI Guys


I thought this was kind of interesting! I knew that each ship had a
machine shop but never had seen one. I guess the machines are there
to stay once the ship is built!

Hey guys,

I got an email (above) from Kelly T. of the Estevan Model Engineering,
and there is some neat stuff. Not sure the Bridgeport and read-outs
would have been "original equipment", but all-in-all a lot of good
stuff. What can YOU identify?


Is this lathe to turn repaired prop shafts? Bigass muthuh!
